Error Correction Coding (Error Correction Coding - ECC) has been considered as a powerful tool to enhance the reliability in data storage by detecting and correcting corrupted data errors that may occur in memory. There are many ECC algorithms used with different advantages such as Hamming, Reed-Solomon, BCH, LDPC, etc. In particular, Hamming code is suitable for controlling errors in memory with the outstanding advantage of simple encoding/decoding algorithms with fast coding speed. In this paper, we present an ECC module design using Hamming code for memory error control. The Hamming code-based ECC design including encoder and decoder blocks is presented in detail. Then, extensive simulation results are conducted to validate the functionality and effectiveness of the designed ECC module.
