Abstract

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