Abstract

An address sequencer utilizes binary words generated by Exclusive-OR addition of Gray code words to linear code words to produce a sequence of computer or memory addresses such that the addresses whose indices lie within a selected range of the index of a particular address are a predetermined Hamming distance from that address, whereby the possibility of recent data being overwritten is reduced.
