Abstract

A decoder in a device receiving data having an error correction code is described. The decoder comprises a memory storing program code having instructions including control signals for decoding an error correction code; an address generator coupled to the memory, the address generator updating an address coupled to the memory for generating a next control signal; and a data processing circuit coupled to receive an instruction from the memory and further coupled to receive syndrome data, the data processing circuit generating error correction values. A method for decoding data having an error correction code is also disclosed.
