System to detect and identify errors in control information, read data and/or write data
Abstract:
An integrated circuit, such as an integrated circuit memory or buffer device, method and system, among other embodiments, generate a plurality of error codes, such as CRC codes, corresponding to control information, write data and read data transactions, respectively. The plurality of separately generated CRC codes is logged or stored in respective storage circuits, such as circular buffers. The stored plurality of CRC codes corresponding to each transaction then may be used to determine whether an error occurred during a particular transaction and thus whether a retry of the particular transaction is issued. The integrated circuit includes a compare circuit to compare a CRC code generated by the integrated circuit with a CRC code provided by a controller device. A CRC code corresponding to read data is transferred to a controller device using a data mask signal line that is not being used during a read transaction. The CRC code generated by the integrated circuit then may be compared to a CRC code generated by the controller device to determine whether an error occurred. The controller device generates and stores a plurality of CRC codes, corresponding to control information, write data and read data. The controller device then compares the CRC codes generated by the controller device with CRC codes generated and stored in the integrated circuit to determine whether an error has occurred during a particular transaction.
