EDAC - HDL
 
The EDAC (Error Detection And Correction) IP Core is a set of encoders/decoders supporting data widths from 4 to 64 bits, providing Single Error Correction and Double Error Detection, and in some cases Double Error Correction and Single Bank-error Detection.

EDAC Encoders/Decoders are frequently used for protecting data in aerospace applications.
