  • Patent number: 10847246
    Abstract: A memory system includes a memory medium and a memory controller. The memory medium includes data symbols and parity symbols which are respectively disposed at cross points of a plurality rows and a plurality of columns. The memory controller includes an error correction code (ECC) engine that is designed to execute an error correction operation at a fixed error correction level while the memory controller accesses the memory medium. The memory controller performs the error correction operation at the fixed error correction level using the ECC engine in a first error correction mode. The memory controller performs the error correction operation at an error correction level higher than the fixed error correction level using the ECC engine in a second error correction mode.
