Paragraph Number

136

In certain embodiments, the ECC decoder 322 may provide error information for correctable errors to the configuration module 352, described below, such as locations of the bits in error, values for the bits in error, and/or other error information. For example, the ECC decoder 322 may provide an error bias to the configuration module 352, indicating one or more bits of a data set that are in error, or the like. An error bias, as used herein, is a representation of one or more detected bit errors in a data set. In one embodiment, an error bias includes a location or position of a detected bit error in a data set. In another embodiment, an error bias includes a value for a detected bit error. A value for a detected error may include an error corrected value of a bit in error, an error value of the bit in error, or the like. For example, in one embodiment, the ECC decoder 322 may provide the configuration module 352 with an uncorrected data set and an error bias indicating locations of detected bit errors and the configuration module 352 may determine a known bias by inverting or flipping the bits in those locations. In another embodiment, for example, the ECC decoder 322 may provide the configuration module 352 with an error corrected data set and an error bias indicating locations of detected bit errors and the configuration module 352 may determine a read bias by inverting or flipping the bits in those locations.
