As memory bit cells of any type become smaller, bit error rates increase due to lower margins and process variation. This can be dealt with using error correction to ...

Error Correction Codes (ECC) play an essential role in safeguarding memory systems by detecting and correcting errors that arise from various sources, including ...

Second, the codes are typically 7 or 8 bits, which makes for an inefficient use of a 16-bit memory structure. This is handled by using the same memory chip for data and codes. This is referred to as ...

FEC (forward error correction), a critical component of many modern digital-communications applications, turns otherwise-unusable links into real and practical ...
