Abstract: An Error Correcting Code (ECC) control circuit in a memory controller includes an ECC controller configured to receive data from a memory device in response to a request from a host device. The ECC controller transmits the data to a direct memory access (DMA) buffer for transfer to the host device, and to an ECC block for error detection and correction of the data. The ECC controller is configured to interrupt transmission of the data to the DMA buffer and transmit error-corrected data output from the ECC block to the DMA buffer responsive to detection of an error in the data by the ECC block. Related systems and methods are also discussed.
