Paragraph Number

115

As depicted, the bias module 318 biases the one or more packets prior to sending the packets to the ECC encoder 304. Depending on the method that the bias module 318 uses to bias the packets, and on other design considerations, in a further embodiment, the bias module 318 may receive data subsequent to the ECC encoder 304 in the write data pipeline 106, or be placed elsewhere in the write data pipeline 106. For example, in certain embodiments, it may be beneficial to keep ECC data separate from data that the bias module 318 biases, while in other embodiments it may be beneficial for the bias module 318 to bias data that includes ECC data from the ECC encoder 304.
