DIGITAL FILTER USING MEMORY TO EMULATE VARIABLE SHIFT REGISTER

A digital filter uses memory to emulate a variable shift register. Data samples are stored in a memory. The data samples are read from the memory, multiplied with corresponding coefficients stored in the same or a different memory, logically shifted, and written back into the memory so as to emulate a variable shift register. The data samples can be logically shifted by one or more bits at a time.
