ABSTRACT:
The most significant bits of each input word of a linear PCM signal address a read-only memory (ROM). Stored at each ROM address is a table of instruction words, one instruction word for each bit in the output word. The instruction words direct a switch to select each bit for the output word from a choice of 1, 0, or an input bit PCM compression according to a predetermined characteristic is implemented by instruction words which direct selection of the proper chord bits from 1 or 0 and the proper step bits from the input bits. A different compression characteristic may be implemented by a different set of stored instruction words. The instruction words also command selective bit inversion and selective inclusion of the bit in a parity check. Implementation of the translator with commercially available hardware is described.
