Abstract

The present disclosure, in various embodiments, describes technologies and techniques for detecting errors in a non-volatile memory (NVM) device prior to performing re-training/recalibration. A processing device in a NVM controller detects a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) condition for detecting error in the NVM device, and a re-training condition that is based on the CRC condition. A CRC circuit generates CRC code when a CRC condition is detected, and the processing is configured to compare CRC code received from the NVM controller with the generated CRC code to detect error. A calibration circuit then re-trains the NVM device if the CRC circuit detects error and the re-training condition has been met.
