Abstract
A novel architecture for high performance two's complement digit-serial IIR filters is presented. The application of the digit-serial computation to the design of IIR filters introduces delay elements in the feedback loop of the IIR filter. This offers the possibility of pipelining the feedback loop inherent in the IIR filters. To fully explore the advantages offered by the use of digit-serial computation, the digit serial structure is based on the feed forward of the carry digit, which allows subdigit pipelining to increase the throughput rate of the IIR filters. A systematic design methodology is presented to derive a wide range of digit-serial IIR filter architectures which can be pipelined to the subdigit level. This will give designers greater flexibility in finding the best trade off between hardware cost and throughput rate. It is shown that the application of digit-serial computations for the realisation of IIR filters combined with the possibility of subdigit pipelining, results in an increase in the computation speed with a considerable reduction in silicon area consumption when compared to an equivalent bit-parallel IIR filter realisations.
