Memory card identification system

Abstract

In a memory card, identification numbers identifying the memory card are permanently stored in fuse blown registers formed in each of two redrive chips, which function to read out data from memory chips of the memory card and store data in the memory chips of the memory card. Each identification number separately provides a unique identification of the memory card. The identification numbers are each stored with an error correction code by which single bit errors en the identification numbers can be corrected and the occurrence of multiple bit errors in the identification numbers can be detected. Both identification numbers, if valid, are used to identify the memory card and both of the identification numbers, if valid, are stored in association with memory quality events occurring on the memory card, so as to provide a redundant identification of the memory card on which the memory quality events occurred.
