Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for selective modes for error control are described. A memory system may implement an error control engine supporting error correction operations and error detection operations. The error control engine may switch between an error correction mode and an error detection mode. The error control engine may receive data and error control information, generate additional error control information, and compare the received and generated error control information to detect one or more errors in the data. In some examples, the error control engine may be configured to operate in the error correction mode, and the error control engine may correct single-bit errors in the data. In other examples, the error control engine may be configured to operate in the error detection mode, and the error control engine may detect errors in the data and transmit an indication of the errors.
