Abstract

Briefly, in accordance with one embodiment of the invention, an integrated circuit includes: a flicker filter circuit. The flicker filter circuit has a configuration so that during filter operation two line buffers are employed to store partial sums of the filtered input digital signal samples. Briefly, in accordance with another embodiment of the invention, an integrated circuit includes: three line buffers, three multipliers, and three adders. The buffers, multipliers and adders are coupled in a circuit configuration so as to implement a flicker filter during circuit operation.
