  • Patent number: 11322220
    Abstract: A memory system is provided. In the memory system, a memory controller transmits a write enable signal and a data strobe signal to a flash memory device, a command or an address is transmitted at a rising edge or a falling edge of the write enable signal through a data line in a single data rate (SDR) scheme, and input data is transmitted at each of a rising edge and a falling edge of the data strobe signal through the data line in a double data rate (DDR) scheme. The memory controller includes a parity signal generation unit configured to receive the write enable signal transmitted in the DDR scheme and output a parity signal by generating a first parity bit for the input data. The flash memory device includes a bit error detection unit configured to receive the parity signal output from the memory controller, generate a second parity bit for the input data received by the flash memory device, and determine whether a bit error has occurred to the input data by performing a parity check.
