High speed FIR filters for digital decimation

This paper describes a multistage FIR decimation filter implemented with a multiplier-free architecture. The filter is designed to be used in /spl Sigma//spl Delta/ A/D converters in submicron CMOS technology. The proposed architecture aims at increasing the operation speed while limiting the power dissipation, thus reducing the injection of switching noise into the substrate and the digital/analog crosstalk.
