Abstract

Embodiments of the present invention are implemented in memory systems. In one embodiment, the memory comprises an array of memory cells and a control circuit. The control circuit is configured to read error correction coded data from the array of memory cells, provide error correction code decoding to selected error correction coded data and discard unused error correction code parity data of unselected error correction coded data.
