Circuits perform row-by-row matrix generation for encoding and decoding of data blocks. They perform fast algebraic generation of high performance low density parity check (LDPC) matrices suitable for use in a wide range of error correction coding and decoding (ECC) applications. Circuit operation is based on a mathematical Cyclic Ring method that enables matrices of any size to be generated from a simple set of initial parameters, based on user-defined performance requirements. The main steps for generating a parity check matrix (H) are selection of an RG matrix structure, selection of Group Ring elements, generating the sub matrices for the RG matrix by a row filling scheme, generating the RG matrix by a cyclic arrangement of the sub matrices, and generating the parity-check matrix by deleting suitably chosen columns from the RG matrix to achieve the desired performance and then transposing the matrix. A circuit performs data encoding or decoding by receiving initial vectors calculated from row vectors of a previously-generated parity check matrix H, cyclic shifting the vectors to generate a desired output row of the parity check matrix H, re-arranging the operation order of the vectors depending on the RG matrix structure and the chosen row, operating on the vectors on information to be encoded.
