  • Method and apparatus for implementing error correction coding in a random access memory
    Patent number: 7676730
    Abstract: Apparatuses and methods for utilizing error correction code in a data buffer or data storage device. In one variation, a single memory device is utilized to store both the data and the associated error correction code. The data and the associate error correction codes are stored on separate memory banks on the memory device. The error correction code may be consolidated into one or more regions on the memory device to improve the utilization of the available memory space on the memory device. In addition, by utilizing separate memory banks to store the data and the associated error correction code, the data and the error correction code can be accessed in an overlapping manner.
