This document summarizes a research paper that proposes a novel modified distributed arithmetic scheme for implementing least mean square (LMS) adaptive filters with reduced area and power consumption. Some key points:
- Distributed arithmetic replaces multiplications with lookup tables, reducing area and complexity compared to multiplier-based implementations.
- The proposed scheme uses carry select adders for accumulation instead of previous carry save adders, reducing critical path length and improving efficiency.
- It allows concurrent lookup table updates and parallel filtering and weight updates to improve throughput.
- Implementations of adaptive filters with lengths of 16 and 32 using this scheme consumed 116mW and 158mW of power respectively, with area reductions compared to previous designs.
