Abstract

Error correcting codes are widely used in memory systems to increase reliability. Especially in a memory systern that uses byte-organized memory chips, which each contain b (≫1) output bits, a single chip failure is likely to affect many bits within a byte. Single-bit error correcting-double bit error detecting-single b-bit byte error detecting codes (SEC-DED-SbED codes) are suitable for increasing the reliability of memory system. This correspondence presents a new class of odd-weight-column SEC-DED-SbED codes for b = 4. The code length is 2 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">r-1</sup> - 2 <sup xmlns:mml="http://www.w3.org/1998/Math/MathML" xmlns:xlink="http://www.w3.org/1999/xlink">[r/2]</sup> , where r is the number of check bits and [ ] denotes the ceiling or next largest integer. The proposed SEC-DED-S4ED codes are the best-known codes.
