Abstract
A method and apparatus for managing X4 or larger types of memory first receives a data word to be stored in the memory, and then generates a check datum, which is a function of the data word and a set of encode data. After storing the data word in memory, the method and apparatus use the check datum and the data word to generate a syndrome. The method and apparatus then determine if the data word in the memory is correct as a function of the syndrome.
