Abstract
A memory circuit includes: a memory configured to store a data unit and parity bits, the parity bits including data parity bits based on the data unit and write address parity bits based on a write address associated with the stored data unit; a write address port configured to receive the write address for the stored data unit; a first decoding circuit configured to determine when a data error exists based on the stored data unit and the data parity bits; a second decoding circuit configured to generate a decoded write address from a read address and the write address parity bits; and an error detecting circuit configured to determine when an address error exists based on a comparison of the decoded write address to the read address.
