摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, an error correction circuit and a control logic circuit. The error correction circuit performs an error correction code (ECC) encoding on write data to be stored in the memory cell array, and performs an ECC decoding on read data from the memory cell array. The control logic circuit controls access to the memory cell array and generates an engine configuration selection signal based on a command. The error correction circuit reconfigures a number of units for which ECC including the ECC encoding and the ECC decoding is performed, in response to the engine configuration selection signal.

摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array in which a plurality of memory cells are arranged. The semiconductor memory device includes an error correcting code (ECC) circuit configured to generate parity data based on main data, write a codeword including the main data and the parity data in the memory cell array, read the codeword from a selected memory cell row to generate syndromes, and correct errors in the read codeword on a per symbol basis based on the syndromes. The main data includes first data of a first memory cell of the selected memory cell row and second data of a second memory cell of the selected memory cell row. The first data and the second data are assigned to one symbol of a plurality of symbols, and the first memory cell and the second memory cell are adjacent to each other in the memory cell array.

摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, an error correction code (ECC) engine, a refresh control circuit, a scrubbing control circuit and a control logic circuit. The refresh control circuit generates refresh row addresses for refreshing a memory region on memory cell rows in response to a first command received from a memory controller. The scrubbing control circuit counts the refresh row addresses and generates a scrubbing address for performing a scrubbing operation on a first memory cell row of the memory cell rows whenever the scrubbing control circuit counts N refresh row addresses of the refresh row addresses. The ECC engine reads first data corresponding to a first codeword, from at least one sub-page in the first memory cell row, corrects at least one error bit in the first codeword and writes back the corrected first codeword in a corresponding memory location.

摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, an error correction code (ECC) engine, an input/output (I/O) gating circuit, and a control logic circuit. The memory cell array includes a plurality of bank arrays, and each of the bank arrays includes dynamic memory cells. The control logic circuit generates a first control signal to control the I/O gating circuit and a second control signal to control the ECC engine, in response to an access address and a command. The control logic circuit controls the ECC engine to perform s-bit ECC encoding on a write data to be stored in a first page of at least one bank array, in response to a first command, and controls the ECC engine to perform t-bit ECC decoding on a first codeword read from the first page, in response to a second command.

摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array and a main controller. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory bank arrays, and each of the memory bank arrays includes a plurality of pages. The main controller counts a number of accesses to a first memory region of the memory cell array, generates at least one victim address of at least one neighbor memory region that is adjacent to the first memory region and performs a scrubbing operation sub-pages of the pages corresponding to the at least one victim address when the counted number of accesses reaches a first reference value during a reference interval.
