Title
A synthesis tool for power-efficient base-band filter design
Abstract
A baseband filter synthesizer that takes a behavioural description of the design and produces an efficient transistor level implementation is presented. The tool optimizes the filter at the cascade level, providing the best trade-off between power consumption and dynamic range, and at the cell level, selecting minimum power solutions, through accurate analytical models and an efficient bi-quad topology. Differently from past cascade design techniques based on dynamic range optimization through linear programming [2], we focus on power minimization while guaranteeing minimum performance levels, given the increasing importance of power savings in hand-held devices. A synthesized filter has been realized in silicon demonstrating the effectiveness of our approach.
