An integrated VLSI FIR filter compiler tool targeted at sampling rates from 0 to more than 100 MHz is described. Main features are high-level synthesis and optimization of FIR filter coefficients with respect to frequency specifications, a priori and a posteriori verification of filter response (including finite word length effects), and layout generation based on a bit-parallel architecture. The tool is fully integrated within the GDT environment (Mentor Graphics)
