Abstract
Apparatuses, systems, and methods for an enhanced ECC mode. The memory array includes a number of data column planes and an extra column plane. When the memory device is set in an Enhanced ECC mode, data is stored in a subset of the data column planes, and an error correction code circuit (ECC) stores corresponding parity data in one of a column plane other than one of the subset of data column planes or the extra column plane. In this manner, memory may be capable of performing single error correction or single error correction with double error detection (SECDED) depending on the mode selected.
