Abstract
A digital integrator (22) reduces circuit area and power consumption by implementing a two-stage integration for a decimator with only one adder (51). In the z-domain, he transfer function of a two-stage integrator can be expressed as H(z)=(1/(1-z.sup.-1)).sup.2. Expanded, the transfer function is expressed as H(z)=(1/(1 -2z.sup.-1 +z.sup.-2)). The inverse z-transform yields the expression y[n]=x[n]+2y[n-1]-y[n-2], which can be implemented with a single adder (51) and two delay portions (52, 55 and 53, 54). In one embodiment, a three-stage integrator (22) can further be implemented within a single adder circuit (91) by time-multiplexing an addition required for the two-stage integration with an addition required for a one-stage integration inside the adder circuit (91).
