Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, an error correction code (ECC) circuit, a fault address register, a scrubbing control circuit and a control logic circuit. The memory cell array includes memory cell rows. The scrubbing control circuit generates scrubbing addresses based on refresh operations performed on the memory cell array. The control logic circuit controls the ECC circuit such that the ECC circuit performs an error detection operation on a plurality of sub-pages in a first memory cell row to count a number of error occurrences, and determines whether to correct a codeword in which an error is detected based on the number of error occurrences. An uncorrected or corrected codeword is written back, and a row address of the first memory cell row may be stored in the fault address register as a row fault address based on the number of error occurrences.

Abstract: A buffer circuit is provided which is insensitive to a duty distortion regardless of the change of operation environment. The buffer circuit includes a current mode logic buffer and a differential-to-single-ended converter. The differential-to-single-ended converter receives first and second differential output signals to generate a single ended output signal and is configured so that an internal control node of the differential-to-single-ended converter is controlled in a negative feedback method to maintain a constant duty ratio of the single ended output signal regardless of the change of operation environment. According to some embodiments, a duty distortion of the single ended output signal due to the change of operation environment such as a process, a voltage, a temperature, etc. is reduced or minimized and thereby performance of the buffer circuit is improved and operation reliability is improved.
