Abstract
A memory controller configured to control a memory module, the memory controller including processing circuitry configured to perform ECC decoding on a read codeword from the memory module using a first portion of a parity check matrix to generate a first syndrome and a second syndrome, determine a type of error in the read codeword based on the second syndrome and a decision syndrome, the decision syndrome corresponding to a sum of the first syndrome and the second syndrome, and output a decoding status flag indicating the type of error.
