ABSTRACT:
A method for error detection and correction of a memory, preferably a flash memory that utilizes existing on-chip circuitry to implement the error correction and detection process is disclosed. The present invention is able to detect and correct single bit errors, while detecting multi-bit errors in data storage circuitry. The method is embodied in a software routine, which when actively operative, uses a multiply accumulate circuit (MAC) and on chip cache located on memory controller circuitry for error correction of errors incurred through the storage of data to a storage device.
