Abstract

In a memory that uses byte-organized memory chips, each containing b (=2) output bits, a single chip failure is likely to affect many bits within a byte. Single byte error correcting-double byte error detecting codes (SbEC-DbED codes) are used in this kind of memory system to increase reliability.
