VLSI implementation of distributed arithmetic based block adaptive finite impulse response filter

In this paper, an efficient VLSI architecture of distributed arithmetic (DA) based block least mean square (BLMS) adaptive finite impulse response (ADFIR) filter implementation with parallel processing is proposed. In DA scheme, the filter partial products are precomputed and saved in lookup table (LUT) and then by using shift and accumulation operations filtering can be done. To improve the efficiency, a high level of parallelism is incorporated in the design of variable coefficient ADFIR filter. The parallel LUT followed by shift-accumulate operations replaces multiply and accumulate (MAC) operations. By using BLMS algorithm in ADFIR filter with block length P gives P times fast throughput. Since memory reuse concept is used, the design requires less number of registers to calculate output vector and coefficient increment vector. The proposed design is implemented on FPGA. The implementation results indicate that the proposed design is a low power and high speed architecture. The proposed structure provides 47.4% less power and 22.7% less delay when compared to existing designs. (C) 2019 Elsevier Ltd. All rights reserved.
