Abstract
A memory system includes a memory having a plurality of address locations, each address location configured to store data and one or more error correction bits corresponding to the data. A secondary memory includes a plurality of entries, and each entry configured to store an address value of an address location of the memory and one or more error correction bits corresponding to the data stored at the address location of the memory. The error correction bits in the secondary memory can be used to correct errors in a subset of the memory having a different number of storage bits than the error correction bits in the memory.
