Original Abstract Submitted
methods, systems, and devices for metadata storage at a memory device are described to support storage of metadata information and error control information at a memory device. the metadata information and error control information may be received at the memory device via a sideband channel and corresponding pin. for example, a set of bits received via the pin may include a subset of error control bits and a subset of metadata bits. circuitry at the memory device may receive the set of bits via the pin and may identify metadata information and error control information within the set of bits. the circuitry may route the metadata information to a corresponding subset of memory cells and the error control information to an error control circuit, where the error control circuit may route the error control information to a corresponding subset of memory cells.
