Abstract
A memory refreshing circuit implemented on an integrated circuit comprising a memory circuit that stores original data and an algorithmic data generation circuit that generates write addresses and correct data such that the correct data is stored in the memory circuit at locations that are indicated by the write addresses to correct errors in the original data by overwriting the original data with the correct data during a random access mode of operation of the memory circuit.
