Abstract
A method is for detecting and correcting errors for a memory storing at least one code block including information data and control data. The method includes reading and decoding each element of the at least one code block to deliver an information item representative of a number of errors in the at least one code block. The method further includes, when the number of errors exceeds one, modifying a parameter of the read by a chosen value, and performing a reading and decoding of the at least one code block again to obtain a new error information item.
