A low-complexity B-spline based digital sample rate conversion circuit architecture

Abstract

This paper presents a low-complexity digital sample rate conversion (SRC) circuit architecture with arbitrary factor conversion ratio. The strategy in deciding SRC system parameters is given to guarantee that both the anti-imaging and the anti-aliasing requirements can be satisfied. The significant reduction in the complexity of the proposed structure allows simple VLSI implementation without affecting the performance. A parallel cascaded integrator comb (CIC) filter circuit without high intermediate sample rate and a multiplier-less linear interpolator are also developed to obtain a cost-effective and high-speed SRC circuit.
