    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cell rows, a row hammer management circuit, and a refresh control circuit. The row hammer management circuit captures row addresses accompanied by first active commands randomly selected from active commands, each of which has a first selection probability that is uniform, from an external memory controller during a reference time interval, and selects at least one row address from among the captured row addresses as a hammer address a number of times proportional to access counts of an active command corresponding to the at least one row address during the reference time interval. The refresh control circuit receives the hammer address and performs a hammer refresh operation on one or more victim memory cell rows which are physically adjacent to a memory cell row corresponding to the hammer address.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, an error correction code (ECC) circuit and a control logic circuit to control the ECC circuit. The memory cell array includes memory cells and a normal cell region and a parity cell region The ECC circuit, in a normal mode, receives a main data, performs an ECC encoding on the main data to generate a parity data and stores the main data and the parity data in the normal cell region and the parity cell region. The ECC circuit, in a test mode, receives a test data including at least one error bit, stores the test data in one of the normal cell region and the parity cell region and performs an ECC decoding on the test data and one of the main data and the parity data to provide a decoding result data to an external device.
