<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To determine which of duplicated ECC circuits is wrong. <P>SOLUTION: Every time data are read from a memory (10), a first CPU (21) determines whether or not non-correspondence is detected from the result of comparison in a first comparison circuit (51), prescribed data for generating an ECC error are written to the memory on the basis of the determination, and processing to determine the failure of a first ECC circuit (41) from the failure of a second ECC circuit (42) is performed. According to the processing, the failure of the first ECC circuit and the failure of the second ECC circuit are discriminated, so that it can be determined which of the duplicated ECC circuits (41, 42) is wrong. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2010,JPO&INPIT |
