3.11.3 ECC Control
NAND Flash memory devices may inherently include error bits. It is therefore necessary to
implement the error correction processing using ECC (Error Correction Code).
Figure 3.11.4 shows a basic flowchart for ECC control.

Write:
1. When data is written to the actual NAND Flash memory, the ECC generator in
the NDFC simultaneously generates ECC for the written data.
2. The ECC is written to the redundant area in the NAND Flash separately from
the valid data.
Read:
1. When data is read from the actual NAND Flash memory, the ECC generator in
the NDFC simultaneously generates ECC for the read data.
2. The ECC for the written data and the ECC for the read data are compared to
detect and correct error bits.
