Abstract
In a memory having a memory array, a method includes reading read data from the memory array, and detecting a first bit error in the read data. The method further includes checking all bitcells in a radial search region about the first bit error. The radial search region is defined by a search radius which indicates a number of concentric rings of bitcells physically surrounding the first bit error in the memory array.
