The design of Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters has evolved into a sophisticated discipline that balances signal-processing performance with hardware efficiency. Innovations in FIR filter design ...

In this paper, we first review in detail the basic building blocks of reconfigurable devices, essentially, the field-programmable gate arrays, then we describes a high-speed, reconfigurable Systolic ...

Bit Layer Multiplier Accumulator (BLMAC) is an efficient method to perform dot products without multiplications that exploits the bit level sparsity of the weights. A total of 1,980,000 low, high, ...

The first part of this series described how data flows through processing steps that create a moving average of stock prices over 65 days. Finite-impulse-response (FIR) filters use the same data-flow ...

A demonstration of FIR filters in operation completes this series of columns. For this demonstration, I used an ARM mbed module with an NXP LPC1768 microcontroller (ARM Cortex-M3 processor). Although ...

Digital signal processors (DSPs) continue to receive a great deal of attention in new product design. For example, digital filter design reflects the importance of understanding and using this ...
