Abstract

An FIR digital filter device of the symmetrical coefficient type or the antisymmetrical coefficient type or which processes digital data signals such as digital audio signals. In the FIR digital filter device, a digital input data is transferred in the forward direction through a plurality of digital signal processors (F, B) connected in cascade and is then transferred in the reverse direction to form M pieces of delayed digital data. The digital signal processor in each stage effects the algebraic addition of said delayed digital data and the digital input data through a first operation unit (46), effects the multiplication result through a multiplier (47), adds up the multiplied result through a second operation unit (37), and transfers the obtained data as carry-over data to the next stage.
