Summary:In the design of multiplierless FIR filters, researchers have made every effort to reduce the number of adders when coefficients multipliers are realized using adder-and-shift network to decrease the overall chip area. However, with the advance of IC technology, area becomes a less important issue than the speed. In this paper, we propose a speed oriented optimization of linear phase FIR filters, where the length of critical path is used as the criteria in the discrete coefficient search. The length of critical path is measured as the number of cascaded full adders rather than the traditional adder depth. Compared to the area oriented algorithm, the proposed algorithm can generate the filters with much shorter critical path delay and meanwhile the area-delay product is also reduced. Gate level simulations of benchmark filters verify the above claim.
