Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, a link error correction code (ECC) engine and on-die ECC engine. The memory cell array includes a plurality of volatile memory cells. The link ECC engine provides a main data by performing a first ECC decoding on a first codeword including the main data and a first parity data, and generates a first error flag based on a result of the first ECC decoding. The on-die ECC engine generates a second parity data by performing a first ECC encoding on the main data, provides a target page of the memory cell array with a second codeword including the main data and the second parity data in response to the first error flag being deactivated or generates a third codeword by changing at least one of bits of the second codeword in response to the first error flag being deactivated.

Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array, a link error correction code (ECC) engine and on-die ECC engine. The memory cell array includes a plurality of volatile memory cells. The link ECC engine provides a main data by performing a first ECC decoding on a first coedword including the main data and a first parity data, and generates a first error flag based on a result of the first ECC decoding. The on-die ECC engine generates a second parity data by performing a first ECC encoding on the main data, provides a target page of the memory cell array with a second codeword including the main data and the second parity data in response to the first error flag being deactivated or generates a third codeword by changing at least one of bits of the second codeword in response to the first error flag being deactivated.
