Design and verification of an ALU‐based universal FIR filter
2010
Purpose – Traditionally, each time a new design for a finite impulse response (FIR) filter is required, a new algorithm has to be developed specially for the FIR filter. Furthermore, corresponding hardware architecture must be designed specially to meet the requirement of the FIR specifications. The purpose of this paper is to propose an arithmetic logic unit (ALU)‐based universal FIR filter suitable for realization in field programmable gate arrays (FPGA), where various FIR filters can be implemented just by programming instructions in the ROM with identical hardware architecture.Design/methodology/approach – Rather than multiplier‐accumulator‐based architecture for conventional FIR, the proposed ALU architecture implements the FIR functions by using accumulators and shift‐registers controlled by the instructions of ROM. Furthermore, time division multiplexing access (TDMA) technique is employed to reduce the chip size. In addition, the proposed FIR architecture is verified in a SOC hardware and/or softw...
