The interpolation FIR filter has several arithmetic units, an adder, and a divider. The nth arithmetic unit outputs a partial product by selecting one of the first and second input values according to an nth bit of the coefficient, and multiplying the selected input value by 2(n?1). The adder outputs a sum all the partial products and the first input value. The divider divides the sum by 2m, wherein m is an amount of the arithmetic units.
