A coding circuit for generating an error correction code from digital data to be recorded in a record medium, includes a temporal storage memory which stores the digital data, a buffer manager which successively reads the digital data m bytes at a time from said temporal storage memory in a main scan direction and in a sub-scan direction, a PI parity unit which processes the digital data m bytes at a time as the m bytes are supplied from said buffer manager so as to generate a PI sequence parity based on the digital data for one row extending in the main scan direction, and a PI parity unit which includes m operation units, each of which processes a corresponding one byte of the digital data as m bytes of the digital data are supplied from said buffer manager so as to generate a PO sequence parity based on the digital data for one column extending in the sub-scan direction.
