Abstract
A coding circuit for generating an error correction code from digital data to be recorded in a record medium, includes a buffer manager which successively reads the digital data m bytes at a time from a temporal storage memory in a main scan direction and in a sub-scan direction, a PI parity unit which processes the data m bytes at a time, as the m bytes are supplied from the buffer manager, and generates a PI sequence parity based on the data for one row extending in the main scan direction, and a PO parity unit which includes in operation units, each of which processes a corresponding byte of the data, as m bytes of the digital data are supplied from the buffer manager, and generates a PO sequence parity based on the data for one column extending in the sub-scan direction.
