ERROR STATUS DETERMINATION AT A MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17959902 titled 'ERROR STATUS DETERMINATION AT A MEMORY DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes methods, systems, and devices for error status determination at a memory device. Here is a simplified explanation of the patent application:
- Memory device can detect errors in codewords read from memory using syndrome bits.
- Error detection signal is generated to indicate if an error has been detected in the codeword.
- Error correction signal is generated to indicate if an error has been corrected in the codeword.
- Memory device provides indications of error detection and error correction signals to a host device.
Potential Applications
This technology can be applied in:
- Data storage systems
- Communication systems
- Error-correcting memory modules
Problems Solved
- Ensuring data integrity in memory systems
- Improving reliability of data transmission
- Enhancing error detection and correction capabilities
Benefits
- Increased data reliability
- Improved system performance
- Enhanced error correction capabilities
Potential Commercial Applications
Optimizing Memory Error Detection and Correction for Enhanced Data Integrity
Possible Prior Art
One example of prior art in this field is the use of error correction codes in memory systems to detect and correct errors in data transmission.

Original Abstract Submitted
Methods, systems, and devices for error status determination at a memory device are described. A memory device may generate, based on syndrome bits for a codeword read from a memory, an error detection signal for the codeword that indicates whether an error has been detected in the codeword. The memory device may generate, based on the syndrome bits, an error correction signal for the codeword that indicates whether an error has been corrected in the codeword. And the memory device may provide an indication of the error detection signal and an indication of the error correction signal to a host device.
