Aries: An LSI Macro-Block for DSP Applications

---

In this thesis, a programmable LSI macro-block for Digital Signal Processing applications is presented. The proposed Aries architecture occupies a silicium area of less than 1.5mm^2 and can be used to construct digital filters of any dimensions (both 1-D and 2-D). An additional final adder can be used to form a pipelined adder chain that can accumulate the results of different Aries blocks. Aries can operate on data rates of up to 50 MHz, enabling it to be employed even in the most demanding high-resolution image filtering applications.
