This study introduces a novel
approach to error detection and correction within Very Large-Scale Integration
(VLSI) systems, specifically tailored for space applications. The core of this
research is the development and implementation of a sophisticated 2-dimensional
error correction code designed to significantly enhance memory reliability in
the harsh conditions of outer space. Traditional error correction methods,
while effective to a certain extent, fall short in addressing the complex
phenomenon of burst errors—errors that occur in multiple bits simultaneously as
a result of a single disruptive event, such as cosmic radiation. The proposed
error correction scheme innovatively employs extended XOR operations, covering
larger blocks of data, thus offering a more comprehensive solution for
detecting and correcting burst errors. Moreover, the integration of Cyclic
Redundancy Check (CRC) techniques further bolsters the error detection and
correction capabilities of the system. Through a detailed comparison with
existing methods, our study demonstrates that the proposed 2-dimensional code
not only addresses the limitations of current error correction techniques but
also contributes to the advancement of memory system reliability in space
engineering. The implementation of this method is poised to provide better
performance in environments where burst errors are prevalent, marking a
significant step forward in the domain of space system design and reliability.
