Path III is the third session in the element14 Community’s structured FPGA-based SoC training. The first Path was held in 2018 and focused on programmable logic devices PLDs and featured the AVNET MiniZed development board, based on AMD’s Zynq-7000 SoC.

Path II convened in 2019 and offered more advanced learning opportunities and featured the AVNET Ultra96-V2 development board, based on AMD’s Zynq UltraScale+ MPSoC.

Path III will double the fun by offering structured training on both the MiniZed and Ultra96-V2 boards. Each training track will be followed by a design/build phase.

    Can IIR FIlters Be Fully Pipelined? We have reached the final post in this series on LWDF IIR filters. I hope that I was able to convince you that many, if not all, of the perceived disadvantages of IIR filters can be addressed while maintaining thei…

    Look Ma, no multipliers! The last LWDF IIR filter example I gave was unusual in the sense that it was multiplierless, all the coefficients were powers of two, which in FPGA hardware cost absolutely nothing. Of course, this restricts considerably the …

    Linear Phase IIR Filters? Part 3 Finally, the third and probably most efficient, but also least known and used way to achieve near linear phase IIR filters is the object of this post.  Absolute linear phase, or equivalently constant group delay,...

    Linear Phase IIR Filters? Part 2 The forward-backward method of turning any non-linear phase IIR into a "linear phase" one at a much lower hardware cost than the classic linear phase FIR implementation I showed in the previous blog post wor…

    Linear Phase IIR Filters? Part 1 I hope everybody can agree by now that IIR filters, especially in their LWDF form, are at least interesting and worth a look. I mean, an order of magnitude on average less resources compared with an equivalent FIR has…
