Abstract
We introduce a new PLA-based decoder architecture for random-access run-time decompression of compressed instruction memory in embedded systems. The compression method employs class-based coding. We show that this new decoder architecture can be extended to provide high throughput decompression. The design of the decompressor is based on the following HW/SW tradeoff: decoding is done in hardware to provide high throughput, yet the codebook used for decompression is fully programmable.
