  • Publication number: 20230142474
    Abstract: A memory device includes a memory cell array including memory cells arranged in a plurality of rows; an ECC engine configured to detect an error in first data that is read from the memory cell array in response to a read command and a read address, to output a first error occurrence signal, and to correct the error in the first data; a row fail detector configured to output a fail row address, which indicates a fail row among the plurality of rows; and a flag generator configured to receive the read address, the first error occurrence signal, and the fail row address, and to generate a decoding state flag, which indicates whether an error is detected and whether an error is corrected, and a fail row flag, which indicates that a read row address included in the read address is the fail row address.

  • Publication number: 20220093144
    Abstract: A method of operating memory devices disposed in different ranks of a multi-rank memory device and sharing a signal line includes receiving, in all of the memory devices included in the multi-rank memory device, on-die termination (ODT) state information of the signal line. The method further includes storing, in each of the memory devices of the multi-rank memory device, the ODT state information of the signal line in a mode register. The method further includes generating, in each of the memory devices of the multi-rank memory device, a control signal based on the ODT state information of the signal line stored in the mode register. The method further includes changing, in each of the memory devices of the multi-rank memory device, an ODT setting of the signal line in response to the control signal.

  • Patent number: 10607660
    Abstract: A memory device having a plurality of voltage regions and a method of operating the same are provided. The memory device includes a memory cell array, a data path region including data processing blocks transmitting read/write data from/to the memory cell array during read/write operations, and a control signal path region including control blocks controlling the data processing blocks during the read/write operations. The data path region selectively receives a first high power voltage or a first low power voltage in accordance with an operating mode of the memory device. The control signal path region receives the first high power voltage regardless of the operating mode.
