Abstract
A decimation filter implements selective decimation ratios by arranging a plurality of sinc filters in different pipeline arrangements to produce the desired ratio. Power savings area achieved by implementing the sinc filters as FIR sinc filters and by implementing multiplications using look up tables. One approach uses a fixed first stage filter and one or more second stage sinc filters selected from the group comprising two 4,order, 5 tap sinc filters, a 4,order, 9 tap sinc filter; a 5,order, 6 tap sinc filter and a 6,order 7 tap sinc filter. The sinc filter is particularly useful applications in the field of data acquisition and particularly in the area of seismic sensing.
