Abstract
An error correction device is provided. When an error of a data group stored in a dynamic random access memory (DRAM) device is detected, a memory controller of the error correction device executes a burst read and write, burst write or burst read-modify-write (RMW) operations to the DRAM instead of the conventional single read-modify-write (RMW) operation, thereby reducing the occupied bandwidth of the DRAM.
