Abstract
A systolic FIR filter circuit includes a plurality of multipliers, a plurality of sample pre-adders, each respective one of the sample pre-adders connected to a sample input of a respective multiplier, and an output cascade adder chain including a respective output adder connected to a respective multiplier. The output cascade adder chain includes a selectable number of delays between adjacent output adders. An input sample chain has a first leg and a second leg. Each respective one of the sample pre-adders receives a respective input from the first leg and a respective input from the second leg. The input sample chain has, between adjacent sample points in at least one of the legs, a selectable number of sample delays related to the selectable number of output delays. Connections of inputs from the input sample chain to the sample pre-adders are adjusted to account for the selectable number.
