Abstract
An encoder includes a first storage array having a first set of values, a second storage array having a second set of values, and a selection circuit. Each of the first and second storage arrays have address ports coupled to receive a first or second portion of an input value, and are adapted to output a first or second value of the first or second set in response to a value of the first or second portion of the input value, respectively. The selection circuit has input ports coupled to the first storage array, to the second storage array, and for receiving the input value. The selection circuit is adapted to output the second value from the second storage array as an encoded value of the input value or the first value from the first storage array as the encoded value.
