Abstract
A new architecture for implementing a digital algorithm such as a decimation algorithm is described. The new decimator circuit is well suited for digital circuits such as a delta-sigma (or sigma-delta) analog-to-digital converter. In particular, the new decimator circuit incorporates a general purpose architecture which enables a wide range of flexibility to change and modify the decimation algorithm performed by the decimator circuit. Moreover, the new decimator circuit can be fabricated in a smaller chip area than previously possible.
