Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 18:
19. A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing code comprising instructions which, when executed by one or more processors of an electronic device, cause the electronic device to:
initiate, at a memory device, a scrub operation on a plurality of rows of the memory device;
determine whether to perform the initiated scrub operation using a first error control mode associated with correcting single-bit errors or using a second error control mode associated with correcting single-bit errors and detecting multiple-bit errors; and
perform the scrub operation based at least in part on determining to perform the scrub operation using the second error control mode, wherein performing the scrub operation comprises:
reading data and a first quantity of bits of error control information from each of the plurality of rows;
reading a second quantity of bits of the error control information from a partition of the memory device storing the error control information; and
comparing bits of second error control information associated with data stored in each row with the first quantity of bits and the second quantity of bits of the error control information for the row to correct single-bit errors and detect multiple-bit errors in the data of each row.
