Abstract
A method includes, in a memory controller that controls a memory, receiving from a host a read command that specifies data to be retrieved from the memory and further specifies a target error performance to be achieved in retrieving the data. A data retrieval configuration is selected in the memory controller depending on the target error performance specified in the read command. The data is retrieved from the memory using the selected data retrieval configuration, and the retrieved data is output to the host.
Claims20
A method, comprising:
- in a memory controller that controls a memory, receiving from a host a read command that specifies data to be retrieved from the memory and further specifies a target error performance to be achieved in retrieving the data;
- selecting in the memory controller a data retrieval configuration depending on the target error performance specified in the read command;
