Abstract
A memory control component allocates a portion of an auxiliary signaling channel and corresponding memory storage, conventionally dedicated to error correction code (ECC) conveyance and storage, for conveyance of metadata and/or other types of component-level information—splitting the auxiliary channel between metadata and ECC conveyance/storage in proportions that obviate conventional metadata conveyance/storage via the primary data channel and thus maintaining full primary channel bandwidth/storage-capacity for user data.
