    摘要: A sense amplifier includes a first sense amplification circuit electrically connected between a bit line, to which a multi-bit memory cell is also connected, and a complementary bit line. The first sense amplification circuit is configured to sense a least significant bit (LSB) of 2-bit data in the memory cell and latch the LSB in a first sensing bit line pair. A second sense amplification circuit is provided, which is configured to sense a most significant bit (MSB) of the 2-bit data and latch the MSB in a second sensing bit line pair. A switching circuit is provided, which is configured to selectively connect between bit lines of the first sensing bit line pair and bit lines of the second sensing bit line pair.

    摘要: A method of operating a non-volatile memory device including first buffer memory cells and main memory cells, where the first buffer memory cells store first data, the main memory cells store second data, which is read from the first buffer memory cells, or recovered first data, which is recovered from the second data through a correction process, includes reading data, which is stored in sample buffer memory cells included in the first buffer memory cells, as sample data when an accumulated number of read commands, which are executed on the non-volatile memory device, reaches a reference value. The method includes counting the number of errors included in the sample data based an error correction code, and determining whether the main memory cells store the second data or the recovered first data based on the number of the errors relative to the first threshold value.

    摘要: A semiconductor memory device a memory cell array and a repair control circuit. The memory cell array including a normal cell region and a redundancy cell region, the normal cell region including a plurality of normal region groups, and redundancy cell region configured to replace failed memory cells of the normal cell region. The repair control circuit configured to, determine a target normal region group from among the plurality of normal region groups based on an input address, extract target fail addresses from among a plurality of fail addresses based on the target normal region group, and control a repair operation based on the target fail addresses and the input address.
