Abstract
Data digits and correction digits are received in each of a number of integrated circuit (IC) devices. Apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed that operate to check the data digits for error in each IC device according to an algorithm associated with the IC device, the algorithm being different for each IC device. Each IC device will act in response to the data digits if no error is detected in the data digits. Additional apparatus, systems, and methods are disclosed.
Claims24
A method comprising:
- receiving data digits and correction digits in each of a plurality of integrated circuit (IC) devices;
- and
- for each IC device:
- checking the data digits for error according to an algorithm associated with the IC device, the algorithm being different for each IC device;
- and
- acting in response to the data digits in the IC device if no error is detected in the data digits.
3 more elements
A method comprising:
- generating correction digits for data digits according to an algorithm associated with a selected one of a plurality of IC devices;
- sending the data digits with the correction digits to all of the IC devices;
- for each IC device, checking the data digits for error according to an algorithm associated with the IC device, the algorithm being different for each IC device;
- and
