COORDINATED ERROR CORRECTION

Abstract:

Methods, systems, and devices for coordinated error correction are described. A memory device may indicate, for example to an external device, that errors were detected in data that was stored by the memory device and requested by the external device based on a comparison between an error correction code stored when the data was written to a memory array and an error correction code generated when the data is read from the memory array. After performing the comparison, an indication of or based on whether the compared error correction codes match may be provided to the external device. The external device may use the indication to detect errors in the received version of the data, or to manage data storage in the memory device, or both, among other operations.
