More Information
Summary:The present disclosure relates to methods and systems for implementing redundancy in memory controllers. The disclosed systems and methods utilize a row of memory blocks, such that each memory block in the row is associated with an independent media unit. Failures of the media units are not correlated, and therefore, a failure in one unit does not affect the data stored in the other units. Parity information associated with the data stored in the memory blocks is stored in a separate memory block. If the data in a single memory block has been corrupted, the data stored in the remaining memory blocks and the parity information is used to retrieve the corrupted data.
