Hj. Shin et al., CUSTOM DESIGN OF CMOS LOW-POWER HIGH-PERFORMANCE DIGITAL SIGNAL-PROCESSING MACRO FOR HARD-DISK DRIVE APPLICATIONS, IBM journal of research and development, 39(1-2), 1995, pp. 83-91
The design challenges and custom design techniques associated with low
-power, small-area, high-performance CMOS digital signal-processing ci
rcuits for hard-disk-drive applications are presented. The advantages
of custom design are demonstrated by an example custom digital FIR fil
ter macro that provides substantial improvement in performance, area,
and power dissipation over standard-cell implementations.
