Abstract
A method of operation in a memory controller is disclosed. The method includes generating first error information for a selectively dynamic-bus-inversion (DBI)-encoded data word. The selectively DBI-encoded data word is for transfer to a memory device. Second error information associated with the selectively DBI-encoded data word is received from the memory device. Errors in the data word are detected by comparing the first error information to the second error information. The detecting includes evaluating the DBI-encoding of the selectively DBI-encoded data word.
