MEMORY DEVICE HAVING ERROR CORRECTION LOGIC

摘要

Data is read from memory cells in the memory device. The read data is transferred over a link to a memory controller that is external of the memory device. While the transferring of the read data is ongoing, error detection of the read data is performed inside the memory device using an error correction code.

主权项

1. A memory device comprising:
a communication interface to communicate over a link to a memory controller that is external of the memory device; data access logic to read data from memory cells, wherein the communication interface is to output the read data through the communication interface over the link; and error correction logic to perform error detection of the read data using an error correction code associated with the read data, wherein the error correction logic is to perform the error detection concurrently with portions of the read data being communicated over the link.
