Abstract:
1. A method comprising: generating a set of m bits, wherein m is an integer, of a first symbol and a set of m bits of a second symbol from a first set of data for transmission over a channel to a memory during a first clock phase; generating a set of n bits, wherein n is an integer, of the first symbol and a set of n bits of the second symbol from a second set of data over a channel to the memory during a second clock phase; receiving a codeword from the memory in response to the first set and second set of data; generating a syndrome based on the codeword; detecting whether an error exists based on the syndrome; and classifying the error if it exists, wherein existence of an error is to be determined based on a syndrome and wherein a single device error is to be classified in response to a determination of a weight of a plurality of error values.
