<p>This paper describes the design, implementation and systematic validation of a new field programmable gate array (FPGA) based cascaded digital filter architecture designed to considerably improve auscultation in digital stethoscopes through the efficient rejection of noise and amplification of vital body sounds. The proposed cascaded filter unit consisting of three discrete-time filters is designed in such a way that one to remove motion noise, the second to isolate circulatory and respiratory sound while rejecting the background noise and the third for isolating heart sounds. The filters that are suggested were thoroughly designed and tested on two platforms: MATLAB as a starting point for simulation and validation and a FPGA both for software modeling and hardware implementation. On the FPGA, the stethoscope filters were implemented with two infinite impulse response filter design structures as conventional and direct form I those were evaluated under both non-pipelined and highly efficient pipelined designs. One of the primary contributions of the proposed work is the demonstrable improvement in working speed and throughput processing attained by the pipelined implementation, which greatly minimizes latency over traditional non-pipelined designs. From the hardware verification, with very high speed integrated circuit hardware description language (VHDL) coding on Altera/Intel FPGA 2C20F484C7 board, we carried out a thorough investigation of resource usage, performance (speed), and power consumption. Our findings show remarkable reductions in logic element usage and strong real-time functionality, making this design a very practical and resource-conscious solution for handheld medical equipment. This study not only pushes the state-of-the-art in digital stethoscope technology but also provides a flexible and high-performance platform for real-time adaptive filtering in other wider biomedical applications.</p>
