Abstract
A digital filter for filtering a pulse density modulation (PDM) signal is presented. The filter has a first filter circuit to receive an input signal and to provide a filtered input signal at successive time steps which include a first filtered value at the first time step and a second filtered value at a second time step. The filter also has a quantizer to provide an output signal comprising output values at successive time steps and a filter variable circuit with a first multiplication circuit to receive the first filter variable, and divide the first filter variable by a first gain factor and a first summing circuit configured to receive the divided first filter variable, receive the output signal, and add the divided first filter variable and the first output value and a second multiplication circuit and a delay circuit.
