    Abstract: A method for determining a resultant data word when accessing memory cells includes reading a set of memory cells, and determining first and second data words therefrom. Each memory cell is assigned a component of the first and second data words. The first and second data words for the respective memory cell assume a first value if a first comparison with a first reference value and a second comparison with a second reference value show that the two reference values are greater and assume a second value if the first comparison with the first reference value and the second comparison with the second reference value show that the two reference values are smaller. The first and second data words assume at least one third value if neither condition is satisfied. The resultant data word is determined based on the first or second data words. A corresponding device is also proposed.

    Abstract: Processing of a bit sequence is proposed, wherein (i) a first partial error syndrome s1 of an error syndrome and a second partial error syndrome s2 of the error syndrome are determined for the bit sequence, (ii) a first comparison value is determined on the basis of a bit position and the first partial error syndrome, (iii) a second comparison value is determined on the basis of the bit position and the second partial error syndrome, and (iv) the bit position is corrected should a comparison of the first comparison value with the second comparison value assume a specified value and otherwise the bit position is not corrected.

    Abstract: A method and a memory controller for accessing a non-volatile memory are disclosed. The method includes reading a first memory region of the non-volatile memory, ascertaining whether the first memory region contains a predetermined data pattern wherein the predetermined data pattern has no influence on resulting error correcting data determined for at least the first memory region. The method evaluating a data status for a second memory region of the non-volatile memory on the basis of a presence of the predetermined data pattern in the first memory region, wherein the data status indicates at least one of whether valid data is present within the second memory region and whether the second memory region is writable.
