Block Diagram for IIR Filter Here is a mathematical model of 2nd order IIR filter. We serialize these units and those can be up to eight. Please be careful of that b1 and b2 are inverted on the actual design. Block diagram is drawn like following. Input data consists of DIOB bits (8 to 28) and coefficients are COB bits(6 to 26). We have just one multiplier with DIOBxCOB bits and use it for all multiplications. Therefore coefficients and data need to be multiplexed. If you put 8 for "Bit length of coeffs" on Digital Filter Analyzer, COB becomes 10. The reason it has two margin bits is that sometimes the value of coefficients exceeds 1.0 as real variables. Similarly, if you put 8 for "Bit length of Input data" on the app, DIOB becomes 12. That's because sometimes the value of internal signals exceeds 1.0 as real variables in case we have multiple serial IIRs. . Back
