Abstract
Novel data compression algorithm for low-power continuous micro-monitoring systems is proposed. The algorithm is based on runlength data coding dedicated to multi-bit signals generated by an A/D converter and named band runlength (BRL) coding. The BRL coding requires neither power consuming multiplying nor dividing operation. The chip of the BRL coding was fabricated using 0.6-μm CMOS as a test vehicle of the power dissipation
