A code encoding apparatus includes a delay circuit and a code generator. The delay circuit generates delayed information based on p-bit input information received in parallel. The delayed information is generated according to a clock. The code generator generates n·p-bit code based on at least one of the input information and the delayed information, where n is a rational number.

An Error Control Code (ECC) apparatus may include a control signal generator that generates an ECC control signal based on channel information. The ECC apparatus also may include: a plurality of ECC encoding controllers that output data respectively inputted via storage elements corresponding to the ECC control signal; and/or an encoding unit that encodes, using a plurality of data outputted from the plurality of ECC encoding controllers, encoding input data into a number of subdata corresponding to the ECC control signal. In addition or in the alternative, the ECC apparatus may include: a plurality of ECC decoding controllers that output data respectively inputted via the storage elements corresponding to the ECC control signal; and/or a decoding unit that decodes, using a plurality of data outputted from the plurality of ECC decoding controllers, a number of decoding input data corresponding to the ECC control signal into one piece of output data.

Memory devices and/or error control codes (ECC) decoding methods may be provided. A memory device may include a memory cell array, and a decoder to perform hard decision decoding of first data read from the memory cell array by a first read scheme, and to generate output data and error information of the output data. The memory device may also include and a control unit to determine an error rate of the output data based on the error information, and to determine whether to transmit an additional read command for soft decision decoding to the memory cell array based on the error rate. An ECC decoding time may be reduced through such a memory device.

Multi-bit programming apparatuses and methods are provided. A multi-bit programming apparatus may include: a first programming unit that stores data corresponding to a number of first bits in at least one first memory cell that may be connected to at least one first bit line; and a second programming unit that stores data corresponding to a number of second bits in at least one second memory cell that may be connected to at least one second bit line. Through this, it may be possible to improve data reliability and increase a number of bits to be stored in the entire memory cell.
