Abstract:
Described herein is an error control method for a memory device (1), comprising the steps of detecting whether a datum read in the memory device (1) is affected by error; upon detection of the presence of an error in the datum read, subjecting the datum read to an error correction operation; and upon detection of the absence of errors in the datum read, supplying the datum read directly on the outputs of the memory device (1) without subjecting it to an error correction operation.
