Internal Correction Of Errors In A DRAM

Error-correcting Hamming code built into circuit. A 256 K dynamic random-access memory (DRAM) circuit incorporates Hamming error-correcting code in its layout. Feature provides faster detection and correction of errors at less cost in amount of equipment, operating time, and software. On-chip error-correcting feature also makes new DRAM less susceptible to single-event upsets.
