Abstract
The present invention relates to a method and an arrangement for preparation of data for a Reed-Solomon decoder and more particularly to a method and an arrangement for an intelligent buffer in front of a ramless DVD Reed-Solomon decoder and further on particularly to a method and an arrangement for an intelligent buffer used also as a first pass correction storage of ECC-blocks. In such a way, the Reed-Solomon decoder will not get disordered ECC blocks by an intelligent buffer that leads to less necessary RAM and a high performance of the complete circuitry. The intelligent buffer is used as a first pass correction storage of the Reed Solomon decoder too.
