<p>A Reed-Solomon error correcting apparatus is programmable to perform several distinct error correction functions, namely, encoding, error detection, syndrome generation, burst error trapping, and Chien searching. The apparatus essentially comprises a set of two t registers (30) where t is the number of errors to be corrected, a set of two t exclusive-OR gates (32), a set of two t top multiplexers (34), a set of two t bottom multiplexers (36), a first set of two t Galois Field multipliers (S0-S19), a second set of two Galois Field multipliers (G0-G19), a feedback multiplexer (42), a lead exclusive-OR gate (40), an AND gate (46), t-1 ordered Chien exclusive-OR gates (52) and a controller (12). </p> |
