Zusammenfassung:Some instances of a memory device include a memory die having an array of memory cells including a plurality of banks. In some cases, the memory die further includes a first error correcting code (ECC) circuit coupled with a first bank of memory cells, where the first ECC circuit is configured to perform operations associated with a first access operation (e.g., write operation) of the first bank of memory cells. In some examples, the memory die further includes a second ECC circuit coupled with the first bank of memory cells, where the second ECC circuit is configured to perform ECC operations associated with a second access operation (e.g., read operation) of the first bank. In some cases, the first ECC circuit is located under the footprint of the array and the second ECC circuit is located outside the footprint of the array.
