Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, an error correction code (ECC) engine, an error check and scrub (ECS) circuit, a row hammer management circuit and a refresh control circuit. The ECC engine generates an error generation signal based on a result of an ECC decoding. The ECS circuit generates scrubbing addresses and outputs at least one of the scrubbing addresses as an error address based on the error generation signal. The row hammer management circuit stores an error flag with a first logic level in count cells, compares counted values with different reference number of times based on a logic level of the error flag and outputs a hammer address. The refresh control circuit receives the hammer address and performs a hammer refresh operation on one or more victim memory cell rows which are physically adjacent to the memory cell row corresponding to the hammer address.

Abstract: A memory device includes a memory cell array including a normal region in which first data is stored and a parity region in which a parity bit for the data is stored, and an error correction code (ECC) engine. The ECC engine is configured to determine whether there is an error in the first data based on the first data and the parity bit, and to output, in response to receiving an uncorrected read command from a memory controller, second data in a state in which an error bit in the first data is not corrected.

Abstract: A memory device includes a memory cell array and a test controller. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory cells, where the memory cell array is divided into multiple regions. The test controller is configured to perform a parallel bit test (PBT) on the plurality of memory cells, where the test controller selects fail data including a fail data bit among internal data output from the multiple regions during the PBT, and outputs the fail data via a data input/output signal line to the outside of the memory device.
