High-speed encoder

摘要

An encoder capable of taking four bits of uncompressed data and encoding the received bits. The encoder in parallel generates one or a plurality of codes if the bits can be represented by a code or by a plurality of codes and keeps the bits that can not be represented by a code unaltered. On the following clock cycle, the unaltered bits from the previous clock cycle will be combined with a new set of four bits of data and the cumulative bits will be converted to a code if they can be represented by a code and if they can not be represented by a code, they will be stored until the next clock cycle. The process of storing the cumulative number of bits is continued until the cumulative number of bits can be represented by a code.
