  • Scalable fir filter
    Patent number: 11894821
    Abstract: A Scalable Finite Impulse Response (“SFIR”) filter includes a pre-processing section, a post-processing section, and a finite impulse response (“FIR”) Matrix. The FIR Matrix is coupled to the pre-processing section and the post-processing section. The FIR Matrix includes a plurality of filter taps and a plurality of signal paths. Each filter tap of the plurality of filter taps has at least a first input, a second input, a multiplexer coupled to the first input and the second input, and a first flip-flop coupled to an output of the multiplexer. The plurality of signal paths are arranged to allow re-configurable data throughput between the each filter tap of the plurality of filter taps.
