Abstract
A converter (,) comprises a multiplex-buffer (,) at a bus (,), a decoder (,), an output buffer (,) and a comparator (,). The multiplex-buffer (,) forwards V,bits (,) of Huffman coded code portions (,) from the bus (,) to the decoder (,). The V,bits (,) can comprise further bits set to logical “1” or “0” at random. On a control output (,), the multiplex-buffer (,) provides a signal K identifying which of the V,bits are valid or invalid. The decoder (,) maps the V,bits (,) into a preliminary bit cluster (,) and indicates a code length V regardless whether some or all bits are valid or not. The comparator (,) checks V and K and allows the output buffer (,) to copy the preliminary bit cluster (,) into instruction portions (,) only when the code length fits the identification of valid bits.
