DSPCPLX - 2022.1 English

The Xilinx DSPCPLX block is one of the advanced features provided by Versal® architecture DSP, which is the optimized solution to deal with 18x18 complex multiplication followed by 58 + 58 accumulation operation.

Versal architecture DSP supports an 18-bit complex multiplier with two back-to-back DSP58s in the same tile pair together. The two DSP58s with their DSP_MODE attributes set to CINT18 form one complex arithmetic unit. The right DSP58 computes the real result P_RE and left computes the imaginary result P_IM. The following figure shows the unisim DSPCPLX primitive which is used to develop this feature.
