Abstract
The error offset and the error magnitude of a data stream in a Read-Solomon code is calculated using the same architecture. The advantage this method has over previous techniques is its simplicity of design and the minimum steps required to convert the syndrome information into an error location and correction pattern. The maximum of four cycles (steps) needed to compute the offset and correction pattern allows for a correction to be applied in the byte time immediately following receipt of the last check byte.
