Abstract
A memory having a plurality of word locations, each having a bit location, includes a parity word in one of the word locations. Bit selector means selects a column of bits made up of like positioned bits in each of the word locations. All bits in a column are added together to indicate whether there is a successful parity check. Each such column is successively checked thereby verifying the integrity of the stored information on a column basis.
