Abstract :
A 64-tap FIR (finite impulse response) digital filter that has been designed using a newly developed filter compiler and fabricated in a 0.8-μm triple-level interconnect BiCMOS gate array technology is presented. The filter has been tested and is fully functional at a 100-MHz clock rate. These results are obtained by combining an optimized architecture and gate array floorplan with submicrometer BiCMOS technology. The filter occupies 49 mm2, which is approximately two-thirds of the 100 K gate array core. The design uses an equivalent of 55 K gates (two-input NAND gates). The device input/output are 100 K emitter-coupled-logic (ECL) compatible
