A HIGH PERFORMANCE (72, 64) SINGLE ERROR CORRECTION-DOUBLE ADJACENT ERROR

Abstract

Single error correction and double-adjacent error correction (SEC–DAEC) codes are a type of error correction codes (ECCs) capable of correcting single and double-adjacent errors. They are useful in applications where multiple adjacent errors may occur, such as space or avionics. ECC encoders and decoders have a regular structure that makes it easier to accommodate them into field-programmable gate arrays (FPGAs). This brief proposes methods to optimize the decoder of SEC–DAEC codes when implemented in an FPGA, reducing the resource utilization when compared with the conventional implementations.
