Memory 101 Topics:
DIMM Architecture – with ECC


  • Error Correction (ECC) gives higher reliability by correcting single bit data errors

  • ECC modules have a 72-bit data path

    -- 8 bits are required for Error Checking and Correcting

  • Additional memory chip(s) are required to store ECC data

    -- One extra chip for every eight chips on the module
