    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: A semiconductor device includes a sequence data generator, which is configured to generate sequence data on a plurality of data lines, and a symbol changer. The symbol changer is configured to generate a training pattern from the sequence data by replacing, for each of the plurality of data lines, each occurrence of a bitstream within the sequence data that has a predetermined symbol with an alternative symbol. The sequence data generator may include a sequence generator, which is configured to generate a pseudo random binary sequence (PRBS), based on a seed value for each clock cycle.

    Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, an on-die error correction code (ECC) engine and a control logic circuit. The on-die ECC engine includes a first latch and a second latch. The control logic circuit sets the semiconductor memory device to a test mode in response to a first mode register set command. The on-die ECC engine, in the test mode, cuts off a connection with the memory cell array, receives a test data, stores the test data in the first latch, performs an ECC decoding on the test data stored in the first latch and a test parity data, stored in the second latch in response to a read command and provides an external device with a severity signal indicating whether the test data and the test parity data includes at least one error bit and the at least one error bit is correctable.
