TMP92CZ26A
92CZ26A-254
The NAND Flash ECC register is used to read ECC generated by the ECC generator.
After valid data has been written to or read from the NAND Flash, setting
NDFMCR0<ECCE> to “0” causes the corresponding ECC to be set in this register. (The
ECC in this register is updated when NDFMCR0<ECCE> changes from “1” to “0”.)
When Hamming codes are used, 22 bits of ECC are generated for up to 256 bytes of valid
data. In the case of Reed-Solomon codes, 80 bits of ECC are generated for up to 518 bytes of
valid data. A total of 80 bits of registers are provided, arranged as five 16-bit registers.
These registers must be read in 16-bit units and cannot be accessed in 32-bit units.
After ECC calculation has completed, in the case of Hamming codes, the 16-bit line
parity for the first 256 bytes is stored in the NDECCRD0 register, the 6-bit column parity
for the first 256 bytes in the NDECCRD1 register (<ECCE7:2>), the 16-bit line parity for
the second 256 bytes in the NDECCRD2 register, and the 6-bit column parity for the second
256 bytes in the NDECCRD3 register (<ECCD7:2>). In this case, the NDECCRD4 register
is not used.
In the case of Reed-Solomon codes, 80 bits of ECC are stored in the NDECCRD0,
NDECCRD1, NDECCRD2, NDECCRD3 and NDECCRD4 registers.
Note: Before reading ECC from the NAND Flash ECC register, be sure to set NDFMCR0<ECCE> to “0”.
The ECC in the NAND Flash ECC register is updated when NDFMCR0<ECCE> changes from “1” to
“0”. Also note that when the ECC in the ECC generator is reset by NDFMCR0<ECCRST>, the
contents of this register are not reset.

The table below shows an example of how ECC is written to the redundant area in the
NAND Flash memory when using Reed-Solomon codes.
When using Hamming codes with SmartMedia™, the addresses of the redundant area
are specified by the physical format of SmartMedia™. For details, refer to the
SmartMedia™ Physical Format Specifications.
