VLSI Design of Pipelined FFT Architecture for DSP Application

The rapid advancements in digital signal processing (DSP) applications have led to an increased demand for efficient and high-performance architectures to implement complex algorithms such as the Fast Fourier Transform (FFT). In this study, we present a VLSI design of a pipelined FFT architecture specifically tailored for DSP applications. The proposed architecture aims to address the challenges associated with real-time processing, power consumption, and resource utilization. It leverages the inherent parallelism in the FFT algorithm and utilizes a pipelining technique to achieve high throughput and reduce latency. Additionally, careful consideration is given to minimize area overhead and power consumption. The architecture is implemented using Very Large Scale Integration (VLSI) techniques, allowing for integration into dedicated DSP processors or system-on-chip (SoC) designs. The design is optimized for area efficiency, making it suitable for resource-constrained applications while still achieving high performance. To validate the effectiveness of the proposed design, extensive simulations and comparisons are performed against existing FFT architectures. The results demonstrate the superiority of the pipelined FFT architecture in terms of throughput, latency, and power efficiency.
