Apparatuses, systems, devices, and methods of replacing at least partially non-functional portions of memory

摘要

Subject matter disclosed herein relates to determining that a portion of a memory is at least partially non-functional, replacing the portion of at least partially non-functional memory; and adjusting an error detection and/or correction process responsive to determining that the portion of the memory is at least partially non-functional and/or replacing the portion of at least partially non-functional memory.

主权项

1. A method for operating a memory device, comprising:
determining that a portion of a memory is at least partially non-functional; replacing the portion of at least partially non-functional memory with a portion of memory allocated to error detection and/or error correction, thereby decreasing a total amount of memory allocated to error detection and/or error correction from an original level, wherein the total amount of memory allocated to error detection and/or error correction does not increase after being decreased; and adjusting an error detection and/or error correction process responsive to the decrease in the total amount of memory allocated to error detection and/or error correction.
