A semiconductor memory device having a column redundancy scheme for improving redundancy efficiency includes sub memory blocks, a redundancy memory block, global data input output lines respectively associated with the sub memory blocks, a redundancy global data input output line and switches. Each of the sub memory blocks has a plurality of memory cells. The redundancy memory block has a plurality of redundancy memory cells. The data of selected memory cells of a sub memory block are transmitted to a corresponding global data input output line. The data of selected redundancy memory cells of the redundancy memory block are transmitted to the redundancy global data input output line. A switch switches the global data input output line to the redundancy global data input output line if a memory cell connected to the global data input output line is defective.

The memory device includes a memory array, control logic and a recovery circuit. The memory array has a first region configured to store data, a second region configured to store a portion of fail cell information, and a third region configured to store recovery information. The fail cell information identifies failed cells in the first region, and the recovery information is for recovering data stored in the identified failed cells. The control logic is configured to store the fail cell information, to transfer the portion of the fail cell information to the second region of the memory array, and to determine whether to perform a recovery operation based on address information in an access request and the portion of the fail cell information stored in the second region. The access request is a request to access the first region. The recovery circuit is configured to perform the recovery operation.

A memory controller includes a controller input/output circuit configured to output a first command to read first data, and output a second command to read an error corrected portion of the first data. A memory device includes: an error detector, a data storage circuit and an error correction circuit. The error detector is configured to detect a number of error bits in data read from a memory cell in response to a first command. The data storage circuit is configured to store the read data if the detected number of error bits is greater than or equal to a first threshold value. The error correction circuit is configured to correct the stored data.

A memory core of a resistive type memory device includes at least a first resistive type memory cell coupled to a bit-line, a first resistance to voltage converter and a bit-line sense amplifier. The first resistance to voltage converter is coupled to the bit-line at a first node. The first resistance to voltage converter converts a resistance of the first resistive type memory cell to a corresponding voltage based on a read column selection signal. The bit-line sense amplifier is coupled to the bit-line at the first node and is coupled to a complementary bit-line at a second node. The bit-line sense amplifier senses and amplifies a voltage difference of the bit-line and the complementary bit-line in response to a sensing control signal.
