ECC Technologies, Inc.

ECC Technologies, Inc. (ECC Tek) was incorporated in October 1990 to provide ECC (error correction coding) technology to storage and communications industries worldwide. The company is located in Minnetonka, Minnesota, a suburb of the Twin Cities of Minneapolis-St. Paul.

ECC Tek licenses ECC hardware and software designs to correct errors in conventional storage devices such as hard disk drives and wireless communications channels and also ultra high-performance ECC hardware designs needed for on‑the‑fly correction of hardware failures to create fault-tolerant systems.

The company has licensed ECC designs to NASA for use in the next-generation space telescope, the lunar reconnaissance orbiter and the solar dynamic observatory. The same designs have been licensed to other companies to create fault-tolerant synchronous DRAM memories for space. The company has licensed programmable Reed-Solomon (RS) designs for use with next-generation wireless communications channels and RS and programmable binary BCH designs for use with NAND Flash.

ECC Tek invented and patented methods and apparatus for encoding and decoding Reed-Solomon codes in a parallel and pipelined fashion.
