A Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter is provided including a coefficient
generator to generate first and second coefficients, a first control
conductor, and a second control conductor. A controller is coupled to a
first end of the first control conductor and a first end of the second
control conductor. A shared wiring is provided having its first end
coupled to the coefficient generator. A first memory is coupled to a
second end of the shared wiring and coupled to a second end of the first
control conductor to store the first coefficient in response to the
controller. A first multiplier is responsive to the first coefficient
stored in the first memory and the input, and a first delay circuit is
responsive to an input. A second memory is coupled to the second end of
the shared wiring and coupled to a second end of the second control
conductor to store the second coefficient in response to the controller,
and a second multiplier is responsive to the second coefficient stored in
the second memory and the first delay element.
