Abstract
A memory controller circuit is disclosed. The memory controller circuit is coupled to an external memory device. The memory controller circuit selectively generates error-correction information for a user input. The selection is based on whether the user input is one of predefined inputs. In order to facilitate that, the memory controller circuit includes a command processor circuit and a memory circuit. The error-correction information is stored within the memory circuit located within the memory controller circuit. Selectively generating the error-free correction information may significantly reduce the amount of memory storage that is required within the memory controller circuit.
