Abstract
A variable length decoder for decoding a variable length code. The variable length decoder includes a code length look-up table which receives n-j bits of an n-bit fixed-length word. A segment of the variable length code value is held in the n-j bits where n and j are integers and j is less than or equal to n. The code length look-up table produces a decoded code length value. The variable length decoder includes a code value look-up table which receives the n-bit fixed-length word and produces a decoded code value of the variable length code.
