Abstract
A method and apparatus transfer digital data between a coder/decoder circuit and a signal processor. The transfer of the digital data includes (a) obtaining, at a first circuit, a block of data values having certain statistical characteristics, the first circuit being one of the coder/decoder circuit and the signal processor, (b) generating, at the first circuit, a data stream by encoding the block of data values based on the statistical characteristics thereof, (c) transferring the data stream to a second circuit via a data bus connecting the first circuit and the second circuit, the second circuit being the other of the coder/decoder circuit and the signal processor, and (d) reconstructing, at the second circuit, the block of data values by decoding the data stream received from the first circuit.
