A system and method for setting analog circuit parameters requires providing a first set of data bits which represent the parameters to be set, deriving a first set of error correction bits from the values of the data bits in accordance with a predefined algorithm which enables the detection of at least one data bit error, receiving the data bits and error correction bits, deriving a second set of error correction bits from the values of the received bits in accordance with the predefined algorithm, comparing the first and second sets of error correction bits to detect the presence of data bit errors in the received data bits, correcting the data bit errors in the received data bits, and providing the corrected received data bits to the at least one analog circuit.
