As memory bit cells of any type become smaller, bit error rates increase due to lower margins and process variation. This can be dealt with using error correction to ...

Intelligent Memory is expanding its DRAM line with a new series of LPDDR4(X) devices with integrated ECC (error correction code) capabilities. LPDDR4 and LPDDR4X ...

The scaling of semiconductor technologies has led to a lower operating voltage in semiconductor devices, which, in turn, reduces the charge available on the capacitors for volatile memories. The ...

Toshiba has introduced a new family of NAND Flash memory products based on a 24nm manufacturing process that integrates a control chip with error correction code (ECC ...

For the uninitiated, low-density parity-check (LDPC) code is an error correction code (ECC) that is used to both detect and correct errors on data that is transmitted ...

Figure 1. LDPC decoding latency can be minimized by using progressively stronger (and slower) forms of soft-decision (SLDPC) decoding only as needed when hard-decision (HDLPC) decoding fails. LSI ...

Memory modules with error-correcting code (ECC) protection are vulnerable to Rowhammer, an attack that can help corrupt data the computer stores in its volatile memory chips. Since its discovery in ...

Tessent MemoryBIST from Siemens EDA provides a complete solution for at-speed test, diagnosis, repair, debug and characterization of embedded memories. Leveraging a flexible hierarchical architecture, ...

About four years ago, the Rowhammer vulnerability in DRAM memory chips emerged. It came about by "hammering" -- many reads or write access -- a particular memory location causing a bit to change state ...
