Application-Notes Application-Notes IIR Shaper Gaussian CR-RC

IIR Filters to emulate a CR-RC shapers

Sci-Compiler 2024.3.x introduces IIR filters to emulate any complex analog filter. Implementing an IIR (Infinite Impulse Response) filter to emulate analog filters, specifically CR-RC (Capacitor-Resistor) semi-Gaussian shapers, in an FPGA (Field-Programmable Gate Array) involves a blend of digital signal processing techniques and an understanding of the analog filter characteristics you wish to emulate.
