Abstract
A memory subsystem includes multiple memory resources connected in parallel, including a first memory resource and a second memory resource. The memory subsystem can split a portion of data into multiple sub-portions. Split into smaller portions, the system needs fewer ECC (error checking and correction) bits to provide the same level of ECC protection. The portion of data can include N ECC bits for error correction, and the sub-portions can each include a sub-portion of (N−M) ECC bits for error correction. The system can then use M bits of data for non-ECC purposes, such as metadata.
