Error vector readout from a memory device

A memory management system and method of managing output data resulting from a memory device storing raw data and error correction coding (ECC) bits are described. The system includes a controller to receive a read command and control a memory device based on the read command, the memory device to store raw data and error correction coding (ECC) bits and output the raw data and the ECC bits corresponding with memory addresses specified in the read command, and an ECC decoder to output an error vector associated with the memory addresses based on the raw data and the ECC bits corresponding with the memory addresses output by the memory device, the error vector associated with the memory addresses indicating errors in the raw data corresponding with the memory addresses. The system also includes a multiplexer (MUX) to output the error vector based on a selection indicated in the read command.
