Background: The designed circuits are tested for faults detection in fabrication to determine which devices are defective. The design verification is performed to ensure that the circuit performs the required functions after manufacturing. Design verification is regarded as a test form in both sequential and combinational circuits. The analysis of sequential circuits test is more difficult than in the combinational circuit test. However, algorithms can be used to test any type of sequential circuit regardless of its composition. An important sequential circuit is the finite impulse response (FIR) filters that are widely used in digital signal processing applications. Objective: This paper presented a new design under test (DUT) algorithm for 4-and 8-tap FIR filters. Also, the FIR filter and the proposed DUT algorithm is implemented using field programmable gate arrays (FPGA). Method: The proposed test generation algorithm is implemented in VHDL using Xilinx ISE V14.5 design suite and verified by simulation. The test generation algorithm used FIR filtering redundant faults to obtain a set of target faults for DUT. The fault simulation is used in DUT to assess the benefit of test pattern in fault coverage. Results: The proposed technique provides average reductions of 20 % and 38.8 % in time delay with 57.39 % and 75 % reductions in power consumption and 28.89 % and 28.89 % slices reductions for 4- and 8-tap FIR filter, respectively compared to similar techniques. Conclusions: The results of implementation proved that a high speed and low power consumption design can be achieved. Further, the speed of the proposed architecture is faster than that of existing techniques.

Power consumption and bandwidth are two of the most important parameters in design of low power wideband modulators as power consumption is growing with the increase in bandwidth. In this study, a multi bit wideband low-power continuous time feed forward quadrature delta sigma modulator (CT-FF-QDSM) is designed for WLAN receiver applications by eliminating adders from modulator structure. In this method, a real modulator is designed and its excess loop delay (ELD) is compensated, then, it is converted into a quadrature structure by applying the complex coefficient to loop filter. Complex coefficients are extracted by the aid of a genetic algorithm to further improve signal to noise ratio (SNR) for bandwidth. One of the disadvantages of CT-FF-QDSM is the adders of loop filters which are power hungry and reduce the effective loop gain. Therefore, the adders have been eliminated while the transfer function is intact in the final modulator. The system level SNR of the proposed modulator is 62.53[Formula: see text]dB using OSR of 12. The circuit is implemented in CMOSTSMC180nm technology. The circuit levels SNR and power consumption are 54[Formula: see text]dB and 13.5[Formula: see text]mW, respectively. Figure of Merit (FOM) obtained from the proposed modulator is about 0.824 (pj/conv) which is improved (by more than 40%) compared to the previous designs.
