Both say: "The Hamming algorithm is an industry-accepted method for error detection and correction in many SLC NAND flash-based applications."
Codes predating Hamming A number of simple error-detecting codes were used before Hamming codes, but none were as effective as Hamming codes in the same overhead of space.
Due to the limited redundancy that Hamming codes add to the data, they can only detect and correct errors when the error rate is low.
Extended Hamming codes achieve a Hamming distance of four, which allows the decoder to distinguish between when at most one one-bit error occurs and when any two-bit errors occur.
For instance, parity includes a single bit for any data word, so assuming ASCII words with seven bits, Hamming described this as an (8,7) code, with eight bits in total, of which seven are data.
Free distance and error distribution The free distance (d) is the minimal Hamming distance between different encoded sequences.
