Abstract
A memory controller provides error correcting code (ECC) capability for a memory. In some implementations, the controller is configured to identify an ECC protection level from a plurality of ECC protection levels for data that is to be stored in the memory device, generate ECC data for the data that is to be stored in the memory device using an ECC corresponding to the identified ECC protection level, store the generated ECC data in the cache, and store the data in the memory device.
