Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a buffer die and a plurality of memory dies. An error correction code (ECC) engine in one of the memory dies performs an RS encoding on a main data to generate a parity data and performs a RS decoding, using a parity check matrix, on the main data and the parity data. The parity check matrix includes sub matrixes and each of the sub matrixes corresponds to two different symbols. Each of the sub matrixes includes two identity sub matrixes and two same alpha matrixes, the two identity sub matrixes are disposed in a first diagonal direction of the sub matrix and the two same alpha matrixes are disposed in a second diagonal direction. A number of high-level value elements in a y-th row of the parity check matrix is the same as a number of high-level value elements in a (y+p)-th row.

Abstract: A memory device includes a memory cell array, an address manager and a refresh controller. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory cells coupled to a plurality of word-lines. The address manager samples access addresses provided from a memory controller to generate sampling addresses and determines a capture address from among the access addresses, based on a time interval between refresh commands from the memory controller. The refresh controller refreshes target memory cells from among the plurality of memory cells based on one of a maximum access address from among the sampling address and the captured address.

Abstract: An error correction circuit includes an error correction code (ECC) encoder and an ECC decoder. The ECC encoder generates, based on a main data, a parity data using an ECC represented by a generation matrix and stores a codeword including the main data and the parity data in a target page. The ECC decoder reads the codeword from the target page as a read codeword based on an externally provided address to generate different syndromes based on the read codeword and a parity check matrix which is based on the ECC, and applies the different syndromes to the main data in the read codeword to correct a single bit error when the single bit error exists in the main data or to correct two bit errors when the two bit errors occur in adjacent two memory cells in the target page.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a pre-5th-Generation (5G) or 5G communication system for supporting higher data rates Beyond 4th-Generation (4G) communication systems such as Long Term Evolution (LTE). A method for operating a receiver in a wireless communication system may include: receiving a signal from a transmitter; performing Integer Forcing (IF) equalization on the received signal; determining a log LikeLihood Ratio (LLR) value of each bit by using a posteriori probability of each bit for the signal determined based on an equalization matrix and a likelihood value for the signal; and decoding the signal by using the LLR value.

Abstract: In a method of operating a memory controller, a decoding status flag is received from a memory module including a plurality of data chips and at least one parity chip. Each of the plurality of data chips and the at least one parity chip may include an on-die error correction code (ECC) engine. The decoding status flag is generated by the on-die ECC engines. A first number and a second number may be obtained based on the decoding status flag. The first number represents a number of first chips including an uncorrectable error that is uncorrectable by the on-die ECC engine. The second number represents a number of second chips including a correctable error that is correctable by the on-die ECC engine. At least one of a plurality of decoding schemes is selected based on at least one of the first number and the second number. A system ECC engine may perform ECC decoding on at least one of the first chips and the second chips based on the selected decoding scheme.
