Data and error correction code mixing device and method

摘要

Memory devices and methods are described such as those that mix data and associated error correction code blocks between multiple memory device locations. Examples include mixing between multiple memory blocks, mixing between memory pages, mixing between memory chips and mixing between memory modules. In selected examples, memory blocks and associated error correction code are mixed between multiple levels of memory device hierarchy.

1. A method, comprising:
generating a first error correction code associated with a first data block; generating a second error correction code associated with a second data block; respectively breaking the first data block and the associated first error correction code up into first and second portions; and writing the first and the second portions between at least two different memory storage locations, wherein writing the first and the second portions between at least two different memory storage locations includes mixing the first data block and the associated first error correction code and the second data block and the associated second error correction code between two memory storage locations.
