Abstract

According to the present disclosure, an parallel formatted data signal is applied to an input (300), and the data signal is divided into a first data signal and a second data signal. The second data signal is applied to a logic delay element (606) to produce a delayed second data signal that is a delayed-in-time version of the first data signal. The first data signal is applied to a first parallel-to-serial converter (706), the delayed second signal is applied to a second parallel-to-serial converter (708), and first and second bit-serial data streams are produced. A controller (710) synchronizes an Arithmetic Logic Unit (616) to the first and second bit-serial data streams so that the ALU (616) scales and sums the first and second bit-serial data streams to produce a bit-serial, sample-rate converted, output signal.
