VISENGI's PNG Decoder provides a robust solution for the high-speed hardware decompression of PNG images, following the PNG compression standard ISO/IEC 15948:2003. Supporting both ZLIB and Deflate decompression methods, this IP core excels in processing 24-bit colored images and 8/16-bit grayscale images. Designed to achieve optimal throughput, the decoder operates with a typical efficiency range from 0.5 to 1 pixel decoded per cycle, depending on the compression characteristic of the input file.
The decoder stands out with its built-in error checking mechanism, ensuring seamless processing and automating the bypass of optional PNG image components. Its simple FIFO-style interfaces facilitate straightforward data input and output, minimizing the need for complex configuration.
Primarily suited for well-compressed PNG files, VISENGI's decoder thrives in environments where maintaining image fidelity is paramount. It is ideally paired with VISENGI's PNG Encoder, forming a comprehensive solution for lossless image data handling capable of adapting to varying image sources while maintaining efficiency across the board.
