Abstract
A burst error scrubbing system and method consecutively detects and corrects errors in all of memory, beginning with data stored at the first address of memory and continuing until data stored at the last address of memory is read, corrected and written back to memory. Burst error scrubbing is not performed during a refresh cycle but instead is programmable so that the burst scrubbing can be performed at a specific time interval.
