Abstract

A decoder of a coded serial stream of digital data in a stream of decoded NRZ data has re-timing (BB, AA) flip-flops and a 2.times.1 multiplexer (MUX OUT) selectably providing a single-bit NRZ output stream or a dual-bit (NRZ0 and NRZ1) output streams, by exploiting the predecoded values (ND0 and ND1) produced by two decoding combinative logic networks (RC1 and RC2) that compose the decoder.
