Objective The thesis work is based on the use of the High-Level-Synthesis methodology and focuses on the use of an High-Level-Synthesis tool, Mentor Catapult, to apply the HLS design methodology to an industrial application. In collaboration with the company Silicon Mitus, a CIC filter is developed. The CIC filter is one of the upstream filters in an high-performance DAC for audio application, developed by Silicon Mitus. The thesis goal is to prove that an architecture designed with HLS design methodology, can achieve performance in terms of area, power consumption an timing, which are comparable with the one obtained by an architecture, designed with the classical RTL design flow. The thesis work starts with an introduction to HLS, explaining its concepts, the structures of HLS tools and its advantages over those of RTL design flow. An overview on the structures and the frequency behaviour of the CIC filters is reported, with different CIC filter state-of-the-art architectural solutions. Finally the description of the design flow is introduced and the final results are discussed. The work is finished with the implementation of the CIC filter on the FPGA Xilinx ZedBoard, using Vivado.
