Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, an on-die error correction code (ECC) engine and a control logic circuit. The on-die ECC engine includes a first latch and a second latch. The control logic circuit sets the semiconductor memory device to a test mode in response to a first mode register set command. The on-die ECC engine, in the test mode, cuts off a connection with the memory cell array, receives a test data, stores the test data in the first latch, performs an ECC decoding on the test data stored in the first latch and a test parity data, stored in the second latch in response to a read command and provides an external device with a severity signal indicating whether the test data and the test parity data includes at least one error bit and the at least one error bit is correctable.

Abstract: A memory device, an operating method of the memory device, and a test system including the memory device. The memory device may include a decoder group configured to receive a plurality of codewords including a plurality of symbols from outside of the memory device and to decode the plurality of codewords into data patterns, a memory cell array configured to store the data patterns received from the decoder group and including a plurality of memory cells, and an encoder configured to encode the data patterns into the plurality of codewords including the plurality of symbols. The plurality of codewords may include illegal codewords and normal codewords, and the decoder group may be further configured to convert the illegal codewords among the plurality of codewords into fixed patterns, and the encoder may be configured to output the plurality of codewords to the outside of the memory device.
