A bit-level systolic architecture for very high performance IIR filters

A novel bit-level systolic array architecture for implementing bit-parallel IIR filter sections is presented. The authors have shown previously how the fundamental obstacle of pipeline latency in recursive structures can be overcome by the use of redundant arithmetic in combination with bit-level feedback. These ideas are extended by optimizing the degree of redundancy used in different parts of the circuit and combining redundant circuit techniques with those of conventional arithmetic. The resultant architecture offers significant improvements in hardware complexity and throughput rate
