Abstract
An error correcting device for correcting erroneous data included in data read out from a nonvolatile memory includes a determining unit that determines whether the data read out from the nonvolatile memory include an error beyond an error correcting capability of the error correcting device. When the determining unit has determined that an error beyond the error correcting capability exists, the error correcting device does not perform the correction of the error.
Claims14
An error correcting device for correcting erroneous data included in data read out from a nonvolatile memory, the error correcting device comprising a determining unit that determines whether the data read out from the nonvolatile memory include an error beyond an error correcting capability of the error correcting device, wherein
- when the determining unit has determined that an error beyond the error correcting capability exists, the error correcting device does not perform the correction of the error.
An error correcting method for correcting erroneous data included in data read out from a nonvolatile memory, the error correcting method comprising determining whether the data read out from the nonvolatile memory includes an error beyond an error correcting capability, wherein
- when it is determined that the data includes the error beyond the error correcting capability, the error is not corrected.
