AbstractThis paper proposes a new architecture of 2-D block FIR filter using distributed arithmetic (DA) algorithm, which is known for the efficient design of multiply and accumulate block. Hardware-based architecture is proposed for DA lookup table (DA-LUT) that makes the architecture of 2-D FIR filter reconfigurable. Further, due to block processing, sharing takes place among DA-LUTs at various stages. Thus, a common DA-LUT may be designed for block inputs which reduce the hardware complexity for DA-LUT. Furthermore, memory overlapping is used to reduce the systolic architectures in proposed design over existing designs. For higher-order 2-D FIR filter, the complexity of DA-LUT is reduced by dividing the internal block into parallel and small blocks. With the help of ASIC synthesis results, a comparative analysis of proposed design with the earlier reported designs is presented, and it is shown that the proposed design leads to significant improvements in various performance parameters.
