This brief proposes an efficient very-large-scale integration architecture for folded configurable infinite-impulse response (IIR) filter design, which is used in modern real-time digital signal processing applications such as loudspeaker equalization. The proposed configurable sixth-order IIR filter is designed with three cascaded second-order IIR filters, and the same is used to perform one sixth-order or three second-order or one fourth-order and one second-order IIR filter operations in parallel, where floating-point multiply–accumulate circuit (MAC) is used to design each second-order IIR filter. The proposed sixth-order IIR filter achieves a 58.4% reduction in energy per operation compared with conventional MAC-based architecture using 45-nm technology.
