Abstract

An infinite impulse response (IIR) digital filter and method of performing the same is disclosed. The digital filter may be realized by way of a programmable logic device, such as a digital signal processor (75), or alternatively by way of dedicated logic including adders (44, 48, 50, 54, 58, 62, 66, 70, 72) and shifters (46, 52, 56, 60, 64). In either case, addition operations (34) are interleaved among first and second output sample values (y.sub.n-1, y.sub.n-2), so that the resulting addition (30; 72; 215; 320) may be carried out with adder circuitry of the same precision as the signal input (x.sub.n) and signal output (y.sub.n). Carry control circuitry (76, 78, 80, 82, 84, 88; 217; 317) is provided to efficiently incorporate magnitude truncation quantization.
