Abstract
A system and a method are disclosed for error correction during operations of a memory system. For example, during a read operation, the error correction includes a read retry determination to account for link errors that are detectable by cyclic redundancy check (CRC) but not correctable by error correction coding (ECC). Reducing the number of read retry operations performed may improve system performance by reducing the number of clock cycles spent on retry operations that could have otherwise been allocated for other system services (e.g., completing read and write operations). Additional CRC calculations and checks may be used to determine when to perform a retry in addition to existing CRC and ECC checks, reducing the number of potential retry operations and improving system performance.
