Verilog HDL: Time Domain Multiplexed FIR Filter
A time domain multiplexed finite impulse response (FIR) filter is clocked n times as fast as the sample rate in order to reuse the same hardware. Since the same circuitry is being reused, this technique saves logic resources.
Figure 1 shows an 8-tap time domain multiplexed FIR filter with a time domain multiplex factor of two. Since the factor is two, only four multipliers are required to implement the 8-tap filter. In the first cycle of the 2x clock, the result of multiplying the input with the first four coefficients is computed; in the second cycle, the result of multiplying the input with the remaining four coefficients is computed. At the end of two cycles of 2x clock, these results are added to generate the overall output. The delay introduced by the register at the output ensures that the two results are aligned properly.

This design example describes the design of an 8-tap time domain multiplexed FIR filter with 18-bit coefficient and input resolution. Both the data and the coefficients are loaded in parallel. For more details, see the Implementing High-Performance DSP Functions in Stratix & Stratix GX Devices chapter of the Stratix Device Handbook.
