  • Patent number: 8667321
    Abstract: A memory controller including a detection module and a protection module is provided. The memory controller is applicable to a memory having a command transmission port and a data transmission port. The detection module detects whether an error condition occurs in an electronic device associated with the memory. When the error condition is detected, the protection module sends an interrupt command to the memory via the command transmission port to stop an operation associated with the data transmission port.
