a memory controller executing a burst write operation to control the first memory to receive the modified data group wherein the modified data group is stored in a second memory.

6. The error correction device as claimed in claim 5 , wherein the modified data group is stored in a second memory, and the memory controller executes the burst write operation to control the first memory to receive the modified data group form the second memory.

7. The error correction device as claimed in claim 6 , wherein the first memory and the second memory are the same memory.

8. The error correction device as claimed in claim 5 further comprising an error correction engine receiving a plurality of error correction codes and determining the error sequence according to the error correction codes.

9. An error correction device for modifying n data sets stored in a memory, comprising:

a memory controller executing a burst read-modify-write (RMW) operation to the memory for modifying the n data sets in n predetermined periods; and

a computing unit;

wherein when the memory controller executes the burst RMW operation to the memory, in the i-th predetermined period among the n predetermined periods, the computing unit receives the i-th data set, performs a logic operation for the i-th data set and an i-th error value to obtain the i-th modified data set, and outputs the i-th modified data set to the memory, 1≦i≦n wherein the n modified data sets are stored in a second memory.

10. The error correction device as claimed in claim 9 further comprising an error correction engine receiving a plurality of error correction codes and determining n error values according to the error correction codes, wherein the n error values comprises the i-th error value.

11. The error correction device as claimed in claim 9 , wherein the memory controller only sends one pre-charge command, one active command, n read commands and n write commands for the n data sets.

12. A method for modifying an incorrect data group among a plurality of data sets stored in a first memory, comprising:

executing a burst read operation to the first memory to control the first memory to output the incorrect data group;

performing a logic operation for an error sequence and the incorrect data group to obtain a modified data group; and

storing the modified data group in a second memory.

13. The method as claimed in claim 12 further comprising executing a write operation to control the first memory to receive and store the modified data group from the second memory.

14. The method as claimed in claim 13 , wherein the first memory and the second memory are the same memory.
