ABSTRACT:
A circuit to encode image data. The circuit receives image data in four bit nibbles which are either all-zero nibbles or terminating nibbles containing at least one non-zero bit. The circuit output is a series of code words, each a multiple of four bits and up to twenty-four bits long, packed into eight bit output words. Each code word contains a first part containing a run length specifying the number of received all-zero nibbles and a second part specifying the bit pattern of the terminating nibble. The circuit uses PROMs for the look-up and control elements and a pipeline of registers to allow high speed operation.
