Multi-channel sequential Viterbi decoder

A multi-channel sequential Viterbi decoder includes: an input data buffer, a Read Single Data Word from Input Data Buffer signal driver, a processing unit selector, a decoder channel parameters registers unit, a processing unit for the Reset Path Metrics command, a processing unit for the Set Path Metric Value for the Given Path Number command, a processing unit for the Get Single Bit from the Path with Given Number command, a processing unit for the Process Input Samples command, a decoding paths and path metrics RAM, a unit for generating current decoder channel base address for the decoding paths and path metrics RAM, a unit for generating cell address for the decoding path and path metric RAM, and a data buffers unit for decoder channels output.
