Abstract

A functional compiler system for the implementation of high-speed finite impulse-response (FIR) digital filters on gate-array ICs is presented. The system is capable of implementing complex digital filters directly from frequency-domain specifications. Fast turnaround and sample rates in excess of 100 MHz are achieved by using a combination of architectural optimization and advanced 0.8-μm BiCMOS gate-array technology. A 64-tap FIR digital filter synthesized using this new functional compiler system is presented. It has been fabricated and tested fully functional at a sample frequency of 100 MHz
