摘要: The present invention provides a method and apparatus for automatically scrubbing ECC errors in memory upon the detection of correctable error data read from memory. This is performed by providing controller (MC) control logic controlling accesses to memory, an checking correcting unit any found data, first buffer storing corrected output (72, 64) writeback path having input end coupled Upon particular location, signals existence data. then obtains exclusive over writing onto subsequently
