Multi State Viterbi Decoder

Overview

The VA08V is a low complexity 16, 32, 64 or 256 state error control decoder using the maximum likelihood Viterbi algorithm. The decoder is designed for maximum flexibility, allowing it to decode various communications standards, as well as custom coding solutions.
