Abstract
The data processing circuit contains a non-volatile memory. Error correction is provided for computing individual correction data for correcting an error in an individual data unit in the non-volatile memory. The individual correction data is computed from a combination of a plurality of data units read from the non-volatile memory. A correction data store stores the individual correction data. Memory access is signaled to the correction data store, which outputs data corrected according to the correction data when said individual data unit is read. The circuit comprises error correction trigger means for triggering the error correction computing means to perform said computing independent of reading of the individual data from the non-volatile memory.
