Techniques for Error Correction of Encoded Data

A method comprising:

• receiving, at circuitry for a memory system, error correction code (ECC) information for ECC encoded data indicating one or more errors in the ECC encoded data;
• determining whether the ECC encoded data includes a single error or two errors;
• based on the determination, identifying an error location for a single error in the ECC encoded data or generating a first indication that the ECC encoded data has more than one error;
• and
• based on the determination, identifying a first location and a second location for two errors in the ECC encoded data or generating a second indication that the ECC encoded data has more than two errors.

At least one machine readable medium comprising a plurality of instructions that in response to being executed on a system cause the system to:

• receive error correction code (ECC) information for ECC encoded data indicating one or more errors in the ECC encoded data;
• determine whether the ECC encoded data includes a single error or a double error;
• based on the determination, identify an error location for the single error in the ECC encoded data or respective first and second error locations for the two errors in the ECC encoded data or generate at least one of a first flag or a second flag to indicate the ECC encoded data has more than one error;
• and
• correct the single error based on the identified error location or correct the two errors based on the identified first and second locations.
