Abstract

Systematic methods are developed for simplified implementations of cascaded stack and WOS filters. For recursive stack and WOS filters, corresponding nonrecursive implementations are given, with linear complexity with respect to the number of iterations. Dynamic domino logic is proposed for VLSI hardware implementation of positive Boolean functions, and a pipelined stack filter architecture is described.
