The present invention provides a memory system that retrieves data based upon redundant form address data. The memory system includes a memory having a plurality of memory lines and an address decoder that enables one of the memory lines in response to a redundant form address signal. A redundant form decoder decodes redundant form data into a differential pair of decoded address lines for each bit position of a memory address. One of the two differential pairs carries correct address data. The one address line to be used is determined on a memory line by memory line basis, using the address of the memory lines themselves. The redundant form address decoder avoids a completion add that would otherwise be required, yielding very fast access to memory.
