Abstract
Device for decoding encoded digital signals corresponding to n different types of data, for example audio, video or graphic data. Such decoder includes, upstream of the decoder itself, an input interface which includes a storage sub-assembly composed of n parallel registers for receiving said data. The input interface also includes, between such registers and an external DRAM-type memory of the decoder, a series arrangement of a first buffer memory (43) for storing the contents of a register as soon as one of them is full, and a second buffer memory (44) constituted by n parallel blocks (45a, 45b, . . . ) for storing, per type of data, the contents of the first buffer memory. At the output of such storage blocks, the corresponding requests for access are carried out by a synchronizing clock (47) via an arbiter so as to transmit the contents of the blocks to the external DRAM memory.
