Abstract: A differentiator in a comb filter is provided having a reduced size and an increased operating speed. The differentiator can include a first delay for receiving and delaying a signal in a number of steps corresponding to a number of stages. The first delay selectively forwards a plurality of delayed signals corresponding to the number of stages. A selector receives the delayed signals from the first delay, and selectively forwards one of the delayed signals. An operator logically processes a signal from the selector and a feed-back signal in response to an external control signal. A second delay receives, delays and forwards a signal from the operator, and a logic circuit subjects a signal from the second delay to a logical operation and feeds back an output to a reception terminal on the operator.

Abstract: An interpolation digital filter for an audio CODEC uses a bit serial method for an audio CODEC system with a clock signal of 256 FS. The interpolation digital filter converts a 32-bits data signal of sampling frequency of 1 FS to a 32-bit data signal of the sampling frequency of 8 FS using a clock signal of 256 FS in a filter unit. Therefore, the present invention reduces the size of the system and reduces the cost.
