A High Performance Decimal Matrix Code Architecture for Improved Reliable Memory

M. Satya sri , K.Jyothi

Protection codes are necessary to shield memory cells, to maintain good quality level of reliability. But, we don’t find any optimized error detection and correction methods. Therefore, in this paper, we present a high performance Decimal Matrix Code to assure the reliability of memory. This protection code utilizes decimal procedure to detect errors, so that more errors were detected and corrected up to 32. Transient multiple cell upsets (MCUs) are major problems in the reliability of memories exposed to radiation environment. To prevent cell upsets from causing data corruption, more complex error correction codes (ECCs) are widely used to protect memory, but they would require higher delay so an efficient ERT (encoder-reuse technique) is proposed to reduce the area overhead of extra circuits, it utilize DMC encoder itself to be part of the decoder.
