Abstract
Variable-length codewords are grouped into successive N bit word groups in sequential order as received from a variable length codeword encoder. The N-bit groups are each stored in corresponding N-bit-wide memory locations in a buffer memory prior to transmission over a channel. The locations are filled to capacity on one clock pulse and emptied on a second clock pulse to efficiently utilize the memory at a given clock rate.
