An error correcting circuit is arranged to receive a system output comprising a plurality of output bits, allocate the output bits to a first set of groups and perform a first error detection step on each of the first set of groups, and to allocate the output bits to a second set of groups and perform a second error detection step on each of the second set of groups. It is then arranged to use the results of the first and second error detection steps to perform an error location step to locate errors in the output, and to generate a corrected output from the received output and the result of the error location step. |
