Abstract
A serial data decoder is described employing a bank of parallel primary Huffman decoders 70 each operating to decode a stream of variable length code words with embedded control code words into a stream of fixed length index values. The fixed length index values are fed to a secondary decoder which operates under control of the fixed length index values representing control code words to decode the fixed length index values representing the variable length code words into output data.
