An ultra-low-power DSP decimationlinterpolation structure is described demonstrating how algorithmic and architectural schemes were employed for ultimate power efficiency in a DSP based chip set for audio applications. This circuit was designed and synthesised for a low VT 0.35 pm CMOS process allowing Nyquist rate signals to be decimated from a high OSR S A frontend and interpolation post voice processing at the back end. The DSP has been fabricated and operates down to 0.9 V. At 1.25 V, its current consumption is only 90 pA.
scite is a Brooklyn-based organization that helps researchers better discover and understand research articles through Smart Citations–citations that display the context of the citation and describe whether the article provides supporting or contrasting evidence. scite is used by students and researchers from around the world and is funded in part by the National Science Foundation and the National Institute on Drug Abuse of the National Institutes of Health.
