General purpose data compression ICs
D.R. Helman · 2002
Three commercially available data compression ASICs are compared: the Hewlett-Packard MYSTIC, the Infochip IC-1053, and the Stac 9703. All three are suitable for lossless compression of general data including text, object code, databases, etc. All use a form of Ziv-Lempel adaptive coding and can be integrated into a standard microprocessor system. Compression performances are compared and found to be similar, in the general vicinity of 2 to 1.>
