Burst error and additional random bit error correction in a memory

摘要

A system for memory word error correction that enables correction of burst errors in memory words. The system is based on an adaptation of two-error correction BCH code which yields burst error correction without increasing the number of error correction bits in the memory words over prior two-error BCH code error correction schemes. The adaptation of two-error correction BCH code when combined with additional techniques for detecting columns of burst errors enables the correction of burst errors and additional random bit errors in memory words.
