In this work, an efficient design of multiplier-less digital finite impulse response (FIR) filter is presented, where the sub-expression elimination (SE) algorithms are employed on filter coefficients, and optimization is done with evolutionary algorithms. This FIR filter is designed with novelty of optimizing the quantized coefficients inside each of the respective optimization algorithm, instead of using two separate algorithms: one for generation of optimal continuous coefficients, and second for optimizing the quantized coefficients. Comparative analysis using different SE techniques have been utilized for reducing the requirement of adders on both binary represented and canonic signed digit converted filter coefficients. The simulation results illustrate the impact of proposed algorithm along with significant reduction in number of adders.
