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 ...

The 74HC and 74HCT280 are 9-bit odd/even parity generators or checkers. These devices are silicon-gate CMOS devices which are pin compatible with low power Schottky TTL (LSTTL) and comply with JEDEC ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 ...

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 microcontrollers and many modern ICs ...
