    Abstract: An LDPC encoder is described with memory for storing a parity check matrix and a calculation unit to encode information bits into a codeword with reference to the parity check matrix. The parity check matrix includes an information part matrix and a parity part matrix. In the parity part matrix, Z*Z sub-matrices are sub-matrices, other than a zero matrix, and are arranged in each of the m rows and m columns. A sub-matrix is a scaled cyclic matrix obtained by shifting elements of an identity matrix by one to the left and multiplying the shifted elements by a scaling element. Except for the scaled cyclic matrix, the remaining sub-matrices are a zero matrix or an identity matrix, and the scaling element is an element allowing the parity part matrix to satisfy a full rank condition on a Galois field.

    Abstract: An Error correction code (ECC) decoder including an input manager configured to sequentially receive a first read data including a plurality of data units read from a plurality of sectors in a memory cell array of a nonvolatile memory device, by unit of sector, a pre-decoder configured to sequentially receive the first read data and generate a respective syndrome of each of the data units, and a main decoder configured to sequentially perform a first ECC decoding on the first read data based on the respective syndrome. The input manager includes a defective sector buffer to store a data unit having a minimum expected error count from among data units on which a first ECC decoding is failed. The main decoder performs a second ECC decoding on a defective data unit stored in the defective sector buffer and receives a second read data from a selected sector corresponding to the defective data unit.

    Abstract: A low density parity check (LDPC) decoder initializing variable nodes with a value of a codeword and outputting the updated variable nodes as decoded messages with reference to an irregular parity check matrix. The LDPC decoder includes a plurality of unit logic circuits operating in a single mode in which all the unit logic circuits update one variable node group including at least one variable node, or a multi-mode in which each of the unit logic circuits updates a plurality of variable node groups in parallel by updating different variable nodes, and a mode controller controlling the plurality of unit logic circuits to update a high-degree variable node group having a degree greater than a threshold degree among the variable node groups in the single mode, and update a low-degree variable node group having a degree less than or equal to the threshold degree among the variable node groups in the multi-mode.

    Abstract: A memory device includes a cell array including a plurality of pages and a control logic configured to control program and read operations of the cell array. The control logic controls the program and read operations to store first through N-th codewords in a first page among the pages and program a page parity corresponding in common to the first through N-th codewords to the first page in response to a program command for a page unit and to selectively read the first codeword among the first through N-th codewords in response to a read command for a sub-page unit, where N is an integer of at least 2. The first codeword includes first sub-page data and a first sub-parity corresponding thereto, and the first sub-parity includes information for correcting an error in the first sub-page data through error correction code (ECC) decoding independently performed on each codeword.
