Method of and circuit for correcting adjacent bit errors in a memory

摘要

A method of correcting adjacent bit errors in a memory is disclosed. The method comprises determining that there are errors in each set of two non-overlapping sets of the memory; changing a stored value of a memory cell of the memory until it is determined that a single error exists in the memory; identifying a location of the single error in the memory; and correcting the single error in the memory. A circuit for detecting adjacent bit errors in a memory having alternating even memory cells and odd memory cells is also disclosed.
