Abstract
A decoding engine within an integrated-circuit (IC) component executes a first plurality of error detection/correction operations with respect to first and second pluralities of data volumes to generate a corresponding first and second pluralities of error syndrome values. Each data volume of the first plurality of data volumes includes a first data block and a first error correction code together with a respective one of a plurality of unique q-bit metadata values, and each data volume of the second plurality of data volumes includes a second data block and a second error correction code together with a respective one of the plurality of unique q-bit metadata values. Output circuitry within the decoding engine selects one of the plurality of q-bit metadata values to be an output q-bit metadata value according to error-count differentiation indicated by the first and second pluralities of error syndrome values.
