2.5.4. Error Correction Code Truth Table

Table 7.  ECC Status Flags Truth Table for M20K
Eccstatus[1]e Eccstatus[0]ue Status
0 0 No error.
0 1 Illegal/Invalid.
1 0 A correctable error occurred and the error has been corrected at the outputs; however, the memory array has not been updated.
1 1 An uncorrectable error occurs and uncorrectable data appears at the outputs.
