<p>An apparatus (40) for decoding a compressed data bit string, having a data string positioner (42, 50) for designating a predefined portion in a data bit string to be decompressed and a programmable logic array (44) having a Huffman table programmed therein for simultaneously receiving the portion of the data bit string and for matching at least a particular unique sequence of bits in the portion to a sequence within the table. Also included are an output device (48) responsive to the programmable logic array (44) for producing a decompressed code value for the matched unique sequence of bits, and a mechanism (52) for updating the data bit string positioner (42, 50) to designate a next portion of the bit string.</p> |
