Abstract

An electronic device, including a compression subsystem with a comparator, a history buffer, a match detector, and a command generator, performs operations for generating compressed data from original data. The compression subsystem, starting in each cycle of a clock, processes a search string that is copied from original data to generate commands for compressed data. For processing each search string, the comparator compares each of N substrings from the search string with stored data from the history buffer to find matches between the substrings and the stored data. The match detector then determines a longest match for each of the substrings. The command generator next selectively outputs commands for the compressed data based on the longest matches for the substrings.
