On the other hand, the shrinking of the devices and the reduction of the supply voltage have significantly increased the static power dissipation, that in power budgets of nanometer technologies, cannot be neglected any longer. In this work, we take advantage of the properties of the Residue Number System (RNS) to implement {FIR} filters with reduced static and dynamic power consumption. The results show that the {RNS} filters offer a reduction of 50\% in static power dissipation and a total power reduction of 40\$\backslash\$\% with respect to the corresponding conventional filters." }
