Introduction
Fixed-Point Toolbox™ provides fixed-point data types and arithmetic in MATLAB®. The toolbox lets you design fixed-point algorithms using MATLAB syntax and execute them at compiled C-code speed. You can reuse these algorithms in Simulink® and pass fixed-point data to and from Simulink models, facilitating bit-true simulation, implementation, and analysis. The toolbox also enables you to generate test sequences for fixed-point software and hardware verification.
Key Features
- Fixed-point data types in MATLAB with word lengths up to 65,535 bits
- Global and local settings for performing fixed-point arithmetic
- Logical and bitwise operators and native integers
- Fixed-point data types usable in both MATLAB and Simulink
- Data logging, data-type override, and other tools for floating-to-fixed-point conversion
- Accelerated execution of fixed-point algorithms in MATLAB
