Abstract :
Particle radiation induced single event upset (SEU), if undetected in computer memory, can have potentially catastrophic effects. An improved error indicating system capable of correcting single errors and detecting multiple adjacent bit burst errors is discussed. This system uses the minimum number of redundant bits possible, and in some cases the number of bits is equivalent to simple parity checking.
