Abstract
Methods, memory devices, and systems for utilizing DDR5 DRAM dice without SEC parity bits, while still providing chipkill protection and RAS performance are described. The disclosed devices utilize a solution based upon locked RAID (LRAID) which omits the on-die SEC bits but retains RAS protections including chipkill protections. The system achieves this protection by replacing the Reed-Solomon parity bits with RAID parity bits, CRC bits, end-to-end SEC bits, and an end-to-end CRC. The SEC protection is enabled, in some examples, by a memory controller, such as by an on-ASIC memory controller making this an on-ASIC SEC rather than an on-die SEC.
