The implementation of a number of FIR filter structures in the Xilinx XC6200 technology is presented. The designs have been implemented using a combination of IRIS, an architectural synthesis tool and Trianus/Hades a set of integrated tools for implementing algorithms on Custom Computing Machines. The main attraction of this approach is that it allows algorithms to be compiled quickly allowing performance changes to be made at the architectural level in IRIS rather than at the FPGA layout level.
