Abstract
This thesis presents different methods of implementing decimation digital FIR filters and develops a method to achieve higher speed and lower power in these filters. This performance improvement comes from using latches as the storage and delay producing elements rather than conventional flip-flops. By using latches one can save up to 50% of the storage area and storage power budget as compared to conventional designs. The exception is one circuit presented in a recent paper that has been retimed to have the same area efficiency, unfortunately its maximum throughput is halved. This thesis also presents a novel graphical method of showing pipeline-type digital operations through a time-space diagram. This diagram is used at different occasions to demonstrate the behaviors of decimation FIR filters in terms of time and space.
