Abstract
There is provided a filtering circuit whose circuit scale is small and which is suitable for a digital data string in which data of luminance signals Y and color-difference signals Cb and Cr are regularly inserted or multiplexed. The digital filtering circuit includes a delay line composed of a plurality of D flip-flops which is operative with frequency of the data string in which the luminance signals Y and the color-difference signals Cb and Cr are regularly inserted or multiplexed a plurality of multipliers for multiplying a plurality of taps of the delay line by respective coefficients and an adder for adding outputs of said multipliers, wherein the taps connected to the multipliers is switched by selectors. It allows one digital filtering circuit to be used for processing the signals Y, Cb and Cr in a time division manner to realize the digital filtering circuit which uses less multipliers and adders and whose circuit scale is small.
