ABSTRACT:
A memory controller and methods implement minimized latency and maximized reliability when data traverses multiple buses. The memory controller includes a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) error correcting code (ECC) checking and correcting circuit and a high speed bus (HSB) ECC checking and correcting circuit. In a first mode for implementing minimized latency, read data is applied directly to the DRAM ECC checking and correcting circuit, bypassing the HSB ECC checking and correcting circuit. In a second mode for implementing maximized reliability, the read data is applied through the HSB ECC checking and correcting circuit to the DRAM ECC checking and correcting circuit.
