A memory controller couples 32-bit data words to and from a DRAM. The DRAM generates error checking and correcting syndromes to check and correct read data. The DRAM generates the syndromes from respective 128-bit data words each formed by 4 32-bit data words written to the DRAM, and thereby achieves a low syndrome bit overhead. The memory controller may write data words to the DRAM having less than 128 bits by first reading 4 32-bit words from the DRAM, substituting the write data for a corresponding number of bits of read data, and writing the new 128-bit word to the DRAM by writing 4 32-bit words.
