Abstract：Variable-length code (VLC) is the most popular data-compression technique which has been used in many data compression standards, such as JPEG, MPEG-2, and H.263. The recursive iteration of the decoding process limits the achievable decoding throughput. A low
power variable length decoding architecture based on table partitioning is presented, which exploits the signal statistics of variable length codes. High throughput was achieved mainly by adding a latch to reduce the critical path of the VLD. And a kind of method to design the finite state machine (FSM) controller is proposed, which is used to partition the VLC table.
Keywords: low power; variable length decoder (VLD); critical path
