A mechanism for decoding linear shifted codes employs two shift registers. The shift registers are independently controlled by an associated control unit. Initially, the received parity bits are stored in a first shift register and the global syndrome bits are stored in a second shift register. The contents of the shift registers are shifted and combined until all L bits of the syndrome code identifying a failed component have been recorded (where L is the smallest integer such that 2∨ L> =, where M is the number of components used).
