Abstract
A memory array for storing odd and even data bits of data words in alternate sub-banks to reduce multi-bit error rate is disclosed. The memory array alternates odd data bits of a first plurality of data words in consecutive columns a first sub-bank of first and second memory banks and even data bits of the first plurality of data words in consecutive columns of a second sub-bank of the first and second memory banks. For example, the lowest bits of each of N data words are stored in a first N consecutive columns of a first sub-bank. The second bits of the N data words are stored in the next N consecutive columns of a second sub-bank. The N data bits in each of the bit positions of the N data words are interleaved in corresponding column mux sets. Alternating odd and even bits between sub-banks reduces multi-bit soft errors.
