Infinite Impulse Response Filter Structures in FPGAs by Michael Francis, Xilinx
A large percentage of filters implemented in the digital domain are Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filters. These filters are used over a wide range of sample rates and are well supported in terms of tools, software, and IP cores. Another type of digital filter is the Infinite Impulse Response (IIR) filter, which tends not to be so well supported and is generally used in the lower sample rates, that is, less than 200 kHz. The IIR filter, known as a recursive filter, uses feedback to compute outputs.

This article covers the different kinds of IIR filters and structures, and, with the use of The MathWorks® tools, shows how these structures can be mapped to the Xilinx® FPGA architecture. A final consideration is how to pipeline IIR filters to support higher sample rates.

An Introduction to Sampled Data Systems by Walt Kester & James Bryant, Analog Devices
There are two key concepts involved in the actual analog-to-digital and digital-toanalog conversion process: discrete time sampling and finite amplitude resolution due to quantization. An understanding of these concepts is vital to DSP applications.  more>>
