Summary :

Unidirectional/Asymmetric error control codes have extensively been studied, not only from theoretical interest but from application to computer systems or communication systems. Recently, attention has been focused on detecting only d, not all, unidirectional errors, that is, d bits unidirectional error ditecting (d-UED) codes. Borden proposed an optimal nonsystematic d-UED code. This paper shows a new design method for cost-effective self-testing checker for the optimal d-UED code. The checking policy is to check whether condition of the Borden code satisfies or not. The proposed checker includes the parallel weight counter, the comparator and th e modulo adder in which new residue operation is defined and hence this makes the circuit self-testing. These circuits are designed to have all possible input patterns in order to satisfy self-testing property. Finally, the proposed checker has greatly reduced hardware amount compared to the existing one.
