In this paper we have proposed an efficient way of FIR filter design using truncated multiplier technique. The Multiplication operation is performed using Multiple Constant Multiplication Accumulation Truncation (MCMAT) technique. The proposed multiplier design is based on the Wallace tree compressor (WTC). As a result it offers significant improvements in area, delay and power when compared with normal Carry Propagation Addition (CPA). Usually the product of two numbers appears as output in the form of LSB and MSB. The LSB part is truncated and compressed using MCMAT technique. The proposed design produces truncation error which is not more than 1 ulp (unit of least position). While implementing the proposed method experimentally, there is no need of any error compensation circuits and the final output is precised. Hence the area can be saved and the power is also reduced.
