Methods, circuits, and an apparatus for filtering high-speed serial data is disclosed. In one embodiment, a Programmable Logic Device (PLD) is configured with a filter circuit for filtering serial data at a first clock rate. The filter circuit converts an N number of serial data streams into an N number of M-bit words based on a deserialization factor. The M-bit words are converted to an M number of N-bit data words. The N-Bit data words are filtered at a second clock rate, reformatted, serialized, and outputted as individual serial data streams at the first clock rate. In one embodiment, the N-bit data words are digitally filtered by a Finite Impulse Response (FIR) filter operating at the second clock rate. The data output of the FIR filter is then serialized into an N number of serial data output streams operating at the first clock rate.
