Abstract
A run-length decoder arranged to produce output signals in groups, each group being output in parallel. The decoder includes a position register which indicates the position, within a group, of the latest transition between signal values. The contents of this register are added to the incoming run-length code so as to calculate the number of groups to be output before the next transition and the position within the group of that next transition. The calculated number of groups is then output and a transition is introduced into the calculated position in the next group to be output.
