Syndrome check functionality to differentiate between error types

A method, comprising:

• receiving a first signal comprising a first bit with a first signal level, the first bit indicative of whether a memory device detected a first error associated with data;
• receiving a second signal comprising a second bit with a second signal level, the second bit indicative of whether a host device detected a second error associated with the data;
• comparing the first bit with the second bit based at least in part on comparing the first signal level and the second signal each to a threshold associated with error detection;
• and
• outputting a third signal indicative of a type of error associated with the data based at least in part on comparing the first signal level to the threshold and the second signal level to the threshold.

An apparatus, comprising:

• first circuitry operable to receive a first signal comprising a first bit with a first signal level, the first bit indicative of whether a memory device detected a first error associated with data received at the apparatus;
• second circuitry operable to perform a procedure for error control on the data and to output a second signal comprising a second bit with a second signal level, the second bit indicative of whether the second circuitry detected a second error associated with the data;
• and
• a plurality of logic gates operable to compare the first bit with the second bit based at least in part on comparing the first signal level to the second signal level, an inverse of the first signal level to the second signal level, the first signal level to an inverse of the second signal level, and the inverse of the first signal level to the inverse of the second signal level.
