Abstract:
Provided is a bit error rate equalizing method of a memory device. The memory device selectively performs an error correction code (ECC) interleaving operation according to resistance distribution characteristics of memory cells, when writing a codeword including information data and a parity bit of the information data to a memory cell array. In the ECC interleaving operation according to one example, an ECC sector including information data is divided into a first ECC sub-sector and a second ECC sub-sector, the first ECC sub-sector is written to memory cells of a first memory area having a high bit error rate (BER), and the second ECC sub-sector is written to memory cells of a second memory area having a low BER.
Abstract:
A method of operating a resistive memory system including a plurality of layers may include receiving a write request and first data corresponding to a first address, converting the first address into a second address and assigning n (n is an integer equal to or larger than 2) pieces of sub-region data generated from the first data to the plurality of layers, and writing the n pieces of sub-region data to at least two layers according to the second address.

Abstract:
A memory controller configured to control a memory device including a plurality of banks. The memory controller may determine whether a number of write commands enqueued in a command queue of the memory controller exceeds a reference value, calculate a level of write power to be consumed by the memory device in response to at least some of the write commands from among the enqueued write commands when the number of enqueued write commands exceeds the reference value, and schedule, based on the calculated level of write power, interleaving commands executing an interleaving operation of the memory device, from among the enqueued write commands.
Abstract:
A memory system includes an error checking and correction (ECC) engine configured to perform error checking and correction of data temporarily stored in a first memory array and data read out from the first memory array according to a first method, and perform error checking and correction of data stored in a second memory array after read out from the first memory array and data read out from the second memory array according to a second method, wherein the first method and the second method are selected in response to a control signal having at least a first logic level, and the second method checks and corrects data errors occurring at a higher rate compared the first method.
