Abstract
A novel Finite Impulse Response ('FIR') filter () is provided with. A master/slave sample and hold architecture is employed. In this architecture, an input signal (V) is coupled to an input of a master sample and hold circuit (). At least two slave sample and hold circuits () connect to the master output. The slave sample and hold circuits () operate at 1/k times the clock rate of the master sample and hold circuit (), where k equals the number of slave sample and hold circuits (). A first multiplexer () multiplexes the slave outputs together. At least one tap block () is coupled to the first multiplexer () includes a multiplier (), a summer (), at least two slave sample and hold circuits () and a second multiplexer (). The slave sample and hold circuits () run at 1/k times the clock speed of the master sample and hold circuit ().
