Abstract: A method for detecting a code word is proposed, wherein the code word is a code word of one of at least two codes, wherein n states are read from memory cells of a memory, respectively. The n states are determined in a time domain for each of the at least two codes, wherein additionally n states are read from further memory cells and at least one reference value is determined therefrom and wherein the at least one reference value is taken as a basis for determining which of the at least two codes is the correct code. A corresponding device is furthermore specified.

Abstract: A solution is proposed for processing data bits, in which the data bits are transformed into first data bytes by means of a first transformation, in which the first data bytes are stored in a memory, in which second data bytes are read from the memory, in which each of the second data bytes, when there is no error, is a codeword of a block error code and in which one error signal per second data byte is determined that indicates whether or not this second data byte is a codeword.

Abstract: A method for detecting an address error when reading a bitstream from a memory is proposed, wherein a check is carried out as to whether the bitstream in conjunction with the present read address is a code word of an error code and wherein, should the bitstream in conjunction with the present read address not be a code word of the error code, an address error is subsequently detected provided the error code does not correct an error correctable thereby. Accordingly, an apparatus, a system and a computer program product are specified.

Abstract: What is specified is a method for transforming a first binary signal read from a memory, wherein the first binary signal is transformed into a second binary signal provided that the first binary signal is a code word or a predefined code word of a k-out-of-n code, wherein the first binary signal is transformed into a predefined signal provided that the first binary signal is not a code word or is not a predefined code word of the k-out-of-n code, wherein the predefined signal is different than the second binary signal. A corresponding device is furthermore specified.

Abstract: A method for reading memory cells from a memory is stated, inter alia, in which physical values are determined from a number of n memory cells, wherein n is at least three, in which the physical values are at least partially compared with one another, in which K different digital memory cell values are assigned to the n memory cells on the basis of the compared physical values, and in which a code word of an n1-, . . . , nK-out-of-n code is assigned to the digital memory cell values obtained in this manner. In particular, the following apply in this case: n≥3, n1≥1 to nK≥1, K≥2 and m≥1.

Abstract: The disclosure proposes a circuit including a memory which has a multiplicity of memory cells, the memory having a first area and a second area, at least one memory cell comprising a part of the first area and a part of the second area, the first area having a lower reliability than the second area, and the circuit being set up in such a manner that first bits are stored in the first area and second bits are stored in the second area. A circuit for reading the memory and methods for writing to and reading the memory are also disclosed.

Abstract: In various embodiments, a method of correcting and/or detecting an error in a memory device is provided. The method may include, in a first operations mode, applying a first code to detect and/or correct an error, andin a second operations mode after an inactive mode and before entering the first operations mode, applying a second code for correcting and/or detecting an error, wherein the first code and the second code have different code words.

Abstract: A circuit arrangement for determining a correction signal on the basis of at least one bit error of a binary word is specified, including a plurality of subcircuits (ST), wherein a respective subcircuit is provided for a bit position to be corrected of the binary word, wherein each of the subcircuits provides at least two locator polynomial values, and comprising a selection unit, which determines a correction signal depending on the locator polynomial values and depending on an error signal (err, E). A method for driving such a circuit arrangement is furthermore proposed.
