摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cell rows, a row hammer management circuit and a refresh control circuit. The row hammer management circuit counts the number of times of access associated with each of the plurality of memory cell rows in response to an active command from an external memory controller to store the counted values in each of the plurality of memory cell rows as count data, determines a hammer address associated with at least one of the plurality of memory cell rows, which is intensively accessed more than a predetermined reference number of times, based on the counted values, and performs an internal read-update-write operation. The refresh control circuit receives the hammer address and to perform a hammer refresh operation on victim memory cell rows which are physically adjacent to a memory cell row corresponding to the hammer address.

摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, a row hammer management circuit and a control logic circuit. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory cell rows. The row hammer management circuit counts the number of instances of access of each of the memory cell rows, such as in response to the receipt of an active command, to store the counted values in count cells of each of the memory cell rows as count data and, in response to a first command, initiates an internal read-update-write operation to read the count data, to update the read count data, and to write the updated count data in the count cells. The control logic circuit may performs an internal write operation to write the updated count data in the count cells during a second write time interval that is smaller than a first write time interval associated with a normal write operation.

摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array and an on-die error correction code (ECC) engine. The on-die ECC engine, during a write operation, generates a second main data by encoding a first main data with a random binary code, performs an ECC encoding on the second main data to generate a parity data and stores the second main data and the parity data in a target page in the memory cell array. The on-die ECC engine, during a read operation, reads the second main data and the parity data from the target page, performs an ECC decoding on the second main data based on the parity data to generate a syndrome in parallel with generating the first main data by encoding the second main data with the random binary code and corrects at least one error bit in the first main data based on the syndrome.

摘要: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array and a cyclic redundancy check (CRC) engine. The memory cell array includes a plurality of volatile memory cells coupled to respective ones of a plurality of word-lines and respective ones of a plurality of bit-lines. The CRC engine, during a memory operation on the memory cell array, detects an error in a main data and a system parity data provided from a memory controller external to the semiconductor memory device through a link, generates an error flag indicating whether the detected error corresponds to either a first type of error associated with the link or a second type of error associated with the volatile memory cells based on the system parity data and transmit the error flag to the memory controller.

摘要: A memory system includes a host system having a memory controller therein, which is configured to generate a command address signal. The memory controller includes a first bit signal generator configured to generate a data signal as a plurality of data bits, a second bit signal generator configured to generate a command address bus inversion bit (CABIB) having a high or low logic level that is a function of a number of data bits within the data signal having a predetermined logic level, and a parity bit generator configured to set a parity signal to a first logic level when a total number of data bits within the data signal and the CABIB having a high logic level is an even number. A storage system is also provided, which is configured to write or read data in response to the command address signal received from the host system. The memory controller is configured to set the CABIB to a high logic level when: (i) “n”, which is a number of bits included in the command address signal, is a positive integer greater than one, and (ii) a number of data bits within the data signal having a low logic level is greater than or equal to (n/2)−1.
