Abstract
A system and method for correcting data errors. A system for correcting errors in blocks of data received over a communication medium includes an error history unit coupled to an error correction unit. The error history unit may maintain information associated with each bit position of the blocks of data in which a correctable error has occurred. The error correction unit may perform an error correction on a given block of data using an error correction code capable of correcting at least a single bit error and detecting multiple bit errors. Further, in response to detecting a multiple bit error, the error correction unit may correct subsequent errors in the given block of data dependent upon the information maintained by the error history unit.
