Patent ID: 7644344

Claim:
A system comprising: a memory device including, a memory array to provide read data bits responsive to a read command, a cyclic redundancy code (CRC) generator to generate remotely generated CRC bits corresponding to the read data bits provided by the memory array, and a transmit framing unit to transmit the read data bits and the remotely generated CRC bits to a host, wherein the transmit framing unit includes logic to offset the transmission of the remotely generated CRC bits from the transmission of the read data bits based, at least in part, on an offset value; and the host, wherein the host includes an interface circuit to receive the read data bits from the memory device, a cyclic redundancy code (CRC) generator coupled with the interface circuit to generate local CRC bits based, at least in part, on the read data bits, another interface circuit to receive the remotely generated CRC bits from the memory device, wherein the remotely generated CRC bits cover the read data bits, and a comparator coupled with the CRC generator and the other interface circuit, the comparator to compare the local CRC bits with the remotely generated CRC bits, wherein the CRC generator is to start generating the local CRC bits before receiving the remotely generated CRC bits.
