Abstract
A method and apparatus of decoding a sequence of digitally encoded data. A sequence of digitally encoded data is received. If the digitally encoded data has a value indicative of a single corresponding decoded value, the corresponding decoded value is generated. If the digitally encoded data has a value indicative of a plurality of predetermined values, a unique decoded value is selected from the plurality of predetermined decoded values. The particular one of the plurality of predetermined values selected is determined by the number of consecutively received digitally encoded data values having a value indicative of a plurality of predetermined values, and further according to the sign bit of the most recently received digitally encoded datum having a value indicative of a single corresponding decoded value.
