Abstract: A memory device includes a memory, a data interface, an error interface and a controller. The data interface communicates data to and from the memory device through an external main memory path. The error interface communicates error information from the memory device through an external system control path and that is separate from the main memory path. The controller is coupled to the data interface, the error interface, and the memory. The controller includes an ECC engine and an ECC controller. The ECC engine corrects an error in data that is read from the memory and generates corrected data by encoding data written to the memory and decoding data read from the memory, generates error information, transmits the corrected data through the data interface, and transmits the error information through the error interface. The ECC controller records the error information in response to the ECC engine.

Abstract: A memory module includes a module error interface, a module data interface, and a plurality of memory device. The module error interface communicates error information a system control path. The module data interface communicates data to and from a main memory path that is separate from the system control path. Each memory device includes a device controller, a device error interface and a device data interface in which the error data interface is separate from the device data interface. Each device controller includes an ECC engine and an ECC controller. The ECC engine corrects an error in data that is read from the corresponding memory device to generate corrected data, generate error information, communicate the error information through the device error interface to the module error interface, and communicate the corrected data through the device data interface to the module data interface. The ECC controller records the error information.

Abstract: In an Error Correction Code (ECC)-based memory, a Single Error Correction Double Error Detection (SECDED) scheme is used with data aggregation to correct more than one error in a memory word received in a memory burst. By completely utilizing the Hamming distance of the SECDED (128,120) code, 8 ECC bits can potentially correct one error in 120 data bits. Each memory burst is effectively “expanded” from its actual 64 data bits to 120 data bits by “sharing” additional 56 data bits from all of the other related bursts. When a cache line of 512 bits is read, the SECDED (128,120) code is used in conjunction with all the received 64 ECC bits to correct more than one error in the actual 64 bits of data in a memory word. The data mapping of the present disclosure translates to a higher rate of error correction than the existing (72,64) SECDED code.
