Abstract

A method of writing data utilizes a pipeline to process write operations of a first plurality of data words addressed to a memory bank. The method also comprises writing a second plurality of data words into an error buffer, wherein the second plurality of data words comprises data words that are awaiting write verification. Additionally, the method comprises searching for at least one data word that is awaiting write verification in the error buffer, wherein verify operations associated with the at least one data word occur in a same row as the write operation. Finally, the method comprises determining if an address associated with any of the at least one data word is proximal to an address for the write operation and preventing a verify operation associated with the at least one data word from occurring in a same cycle as the write operation.
