Abstract
A novel Finite Impulse Response ('FIR') filter (10)' is provided with precise timing acquisition. A master/slave sample and hold architecture is employed. In this architecture, an input signal (VIN) is coupled to an input of a master sample and hold circuit (34). A plurality of slave sample and hold circuits (36-44) are coupled to the output of the master sample and hold circuit. The outputs of the slave sample and hold circuits (36-44) are multiplexed to a plurality of multipliers (14-22) in a round robin manner.
