The RAM in our computers is constantly refreshed to ensure that it maintains the intended information. For most of us, however, a bit flipped somewhere in the memory of our cell phones or laptops is ...

An error detection technique that tests the integrity of digital data in the computer. Parity checking adds an extra parity cell to each 8-bit byte of memory, thus ...

Abstract: The disclosed parity stripping technique quickly and efficiently converts a multi-byte input stream having parity bits to an output data stream that contains the same data as the input ...

ECC adds multiple parity bits, though calculations are usually applied to complete words (typically 32 or 64 bits), not single bytes. Each ECC bit represents the parity of a different subset of the ...

This means a single bit, or all eight bits, can be wrong in 16 different bytes and the RS will correct them. The number of parity symbols, referred to as 2t, is always twice the number of symbols, ...

Error detecting and correcting codes are based on significant distance between two bit strings in terms of the number of bits that have to alter to get from the first ...

I got into an argument with a colleague about RAID levels (specifically RAID5) and whether the redundancy was accomplished through parity or ECC. The standard sources all refer to the RAID5 array ...

The UART, or universal asynchronous receiver-transmitter, is one of the most used device-to-device communication protocols. This article shows how to use a UART as a hardware communication protocol by ...

Universal Asynchronous Receiver/Transmitters (UARTs) are considered the simplest way to send data from one system to another system. UARTs are commonly included in ...
