Abstract:
Described apparatuses and methods provide system error correction code (ECC) circuitry routing that segregates even sense amp (SA) line data sets and odd SA line data sets in a memory, such as a low-power dynamic random-access memory. A memory device may include one or more dies, and a die can have even SA line data sets and odd SA line data sets. The memory device may also include ECC circuitry comprising one or more ECC engines. By segregating the data sets, instead of coupling even and odd SA line data sets to a single ECC engine, double-bit errors on a single word line may be separated into two single-bit errors. Thus, by utilizing system ECC circuitry routing in this way, even a one-bit ECC algorithm may be used to correct double bits, which may increase data reliability.
