Abstract
A memory controller provides low-latency error correcting code (ECC) capability for a memory. In some implementations, the controller is configured to receive a memory access command that includes an address and a length associated with data that is to be transferred to or from the memory device, and transfer one or more bytes of data and one or more bytes of ECC information to or from locations of the memory device associated with the address and the length.
