Abstract This paper proposes an implementation of variable length decoder for H.264. The design is separated into several parts according to the specialty of the code flow so that the hardware cost can be decreased. The NAL packet is decoded by parallel structure module to get the high decoding efficiency. The barrel-shifters which are based on parallel structure can decode one code in every cycle. The module is designed , simulated based on Verilog HDL. The whole design has been verified by FPGA. The FPGA system can decode the standard-definition H.264 video in real-time. The design consists of 16k gates when synthesized based on 0.18mm CMOS library. The highest frequency can reach 150MHz.
