A circuit for use in conjunction with a microprocessor for refreshing, checking and correcting data signals stored in a dynamic memory. The circuit utilizes a direct memory access controller for transferring data signals stored in successive locations of the dynamic memory to a non-existent peripheral. Data signals appearing on a data bus as a result of the data transfer, are applied to a parity checking circuit for generating an interrupt signal to the microprocessor in response to detection of parity errors in the data signal. The microprocessor then performs a data recovery routine in which correct versions of the data signal stored in a non-volatile memory, are transferred for storage in the dynamic memory under control of a microprocessor. Parity errors in data signals stored in the dynamic memory are thus corrected prior to being accessed by the microprocessor. |
