Abstract. Optimization techniques for DSP circuits are described based on the design experience with a number of high-speed digital filter chips. These designs show that efficient high speed digital filter designs can be achieved using several optimizations at the architecture, circuit, and layout level. The problems of automating these optimizations in a general DSP synthesis environment are discussed, and possible CAD solutions are proposed.
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.
