Abstract
Circuits and methods for initializing a memory. Each row of the memory includes data bits and associated parity bits. A write buffer contains bit values for initializing the memory, and a control circuit performs a first set of write operations that write values from the write buffer to the data bits of the memory without writing values to the associated parity bits. The write buffer performs a second set of write operations that write values from the write buffer to the parity bits associated with the data bits without writing data to the data bits.
