Systems and methods that encode and decode data in a manner that limits error propagation by parsing a data word of length n into a predetermined number of data blocks, individually encoding each data block into a single associated code block, and then combining each of the code blocks to form a resulting code word of length (n+1), resulting in a code rate of n/(n+1). By parsing and encoding the data word in this manner, errors that occur with respect to one or more bits of one code block will not be propagated throughout an entire data word during the decoding process.
