The Reed Solomon Erasure Code developed by Secantec is a specialized error correction technology that operates asynchronously, purely using combinatorial logic, thereby achieving zero-latency processing. It is strategically designed to accommodate varying sizes of symbols in Galois Field operations while providing efficient error correction capabilities. The IP is notable for not requiring clocks, storage elements, or iterative feedback mechanisms during its operations. It is particularly useful in RAID systems for data recovery and can correct maximum error symbols defined by its parameters. With a highly configurable RTL, it supports various degrees of polynomial operations and erasure positions, making it adaptable to different application needs, such as data protection in data centers and storage solutions.
