Abstract

An error correction system (1000) included in a utilization device (1002) operates upon a plurality of sectors (S) stored in a data buffer (1100) for performing write-from-host and read-from-device operations. Overlapping and asynchronous operational steps are performed with respect to the plurality of sectors, the operational steps including sector transfer into buffer, sector correction, and sector transfer out of buffer. The error correction system (1000) includes a plurality of subsystems which are supervised and sequenced by correction controller (1020). The subsystems include a CRC generation and checking subsystem (1030); an LBA subsystem (1040); an ECC/Syndrome Generator subsystem (1050); a header (ID) subsystem (1060); a correction subsystem (1070); and, a correction checker system (1075).
