CIC filters are often used for the purpose of reducing sampling rate (decimation) and increasing sampling rate (interpolation) . Our work is to show the efficiency of CIC filters over FIR filters in fixed point applications. Single stage CIC filter and multistage CIC filters are realized. Here multirate filter design models are developed using Xilinx system generator. Also multirate filters are further improved by cascading various CIC filter stages.
