Summary :

Error correcting and/or detecting codes have been successfully used to improve the reliability of computer memories. To improve for error control in memory systems organized to have b bits per package, a new class of linear codes for simultaneous error correction and error detection is given. We refer to a group of b bits as a byte. This paper provides a new type of byte error detecting codes to correct single bit errors and detect single byte errors (SEC-SbED codes), and to correct single bit errors and detect double bit errors and single byte errors (SEC-DED-SbED codes). Form these codes, this paper demonstrates a new class of rotational SEC-SbED codes and rotational SEC-DED-SbED codes that are optimal for LSI construction of their encoding-decoding circuitries. The decoders for the proposed codes require very small amounts of extra circuitry over that required for SEC-DED (Single Error Correcting - Double Error Detecting) codes. The decoding speed is very high-equal to that of SEC-DED codes.
