A 19.2GOPS, 20mW adaptive FIR filter

摘要

We implemented a 48-tap, mixed signal adaptive FIR filter with 8-bit input and 10-bit output resolution. The filter stores its tap weights in nonvolatile analog memory cells and adapts using the least-mean-square (LMS) algorithm. We run the input through a digital tapped delay line, multiply the digital words with the analog tap weights using mixed-signal multipliers, and adapt the tap coefficients using pulsed-based feedback. The accuracy of the weight updates exceeds 13 bits. The total die area is 2.6 mm/sup 2/ in an 0.35/spl mu/m CMOS process. The filter delivers a performance of 19.2 GOPS at 200MHz, and consumes 20mW providing a 6mA differential output current.
