Abstract
A memory organization system is disclosed which comprises an improved, bit-organized RAM system. The invention substantially limits errors within the RAM system such that they are error-correctible by existing error detection and correction means. Commonly available RAMs are organized on a logic board such that each bit of a word being addressed is provided by a different RAM chip and is driven by a distinct driver. In this manner a malfunction in either a chip or a driver circuit results in only a one-bit error per word and overall system performance is also improved.
