This paper presents our implemented, synthesized and tested on demand and partial reconfiguration approaches for FIR filters using Xilinx Virtex FPGAs. Our scope is to implement a low-power, area-efficient autonomously reconfigurable digital signal processing architecture that is tailored for the realization of arbitrary response FIR filters on Xilinx Virtex FPGAs. The implementation of design addresses area efficiency and flexibility allowing dynamically inserting and/or removing the partial modules to implement the partial reconfigurable FIR filters with various taps. This partial reconfigurable FIR filter design shows the configuration time improvement, good area efficiency and flexibility by using the dynamic partial reconfiguration method.
