Patent ID: 7263649

Claim:
A converting circuit, for preventing wrong error correction code from occurring due to an error correction rule during data reading operation, comprising: a flash memory controller, comprising an error correction code converting circuit connected to a byte error correction rule; an error correction code area, connected to said flash memory controller, for storing error correction codes generated by said flash memory controller; and a data area, connected to said flash memory controller, for storing data transmitted by said flash memory, wherein when said flash memory controller writes all 0x FF data into said flash memory, said byte error correction rule generates a set of correct error correction codes for said data area and said error correction code converting circuit converts said set of correct error correction codes into 0xFF error correction codes, and values stored in said data area and error correction code area of said flash memory are converted into 0xFF to prevent wrong error correction code from occurring during data reading operation when said error correction codes are not completely 0xFF.
