An Efficient Modified Distributed Arithmetic Architecture Suitable for FIR Filter

Abstract
One of the essential components of a Digital Signal Processing (DSP) system is the Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter. FIR filter uses the Multiply and Accumulate (MAC) operation for its computation. Conventional MAC units are slow and consume high power, making them unsuitable for energy constrained devices. The MAC operations in FIR filter uses constant filter coefficients as one of its inputs. This situation is well suited for a bit-serial technique such as Distributed Arithmetic (DA). However, the traditional DA has the drawback of using huge memory resources as the filter order increases. An efficient LUT-less Modified Distributed Arithmetic architecture is proposed in this paper to solve the memory problem. This architecture removes the need for pre-computation of weighted sums needed for the LUT in a DA using multiplexers and adders. Also, the architecture is designed to extend the range of input values. Further, a 16-Tap FIR filter is designed, synthesized with Xilinx Vivado, and implemented for an XC4VSX35-FF668-10 based FPGA to measure the performance of this architecture. Our implementation results show that the design uses fewer resources and achieves faster filtering than the filter’s previous implementations.
