  • Publication number: 20200133768
    Abstract: Disclosed are a semiconductor memory device, a controller, and a memory system. The semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cells, and an error correcting code (ECC) decoder configured to receive first data and a parity output from selected memory cells of the memory cell array. The ECC decoder generates a syndrome based on the first data and the parity, generates a decoding status flag (DSF) indicating a type of an error of the first data by the syndrome, and outputs the second data and the DSF to an external device outside of the semiconductor memory device when a read operation of the semiconductor memory device is performed.

  • Publication number: 20200042385
    Abstract: An error correcting circuit receives a codeword including user data and a parity code, and performs an error correction operation on the user data. The circuit includes a first buffer, a decoder, a second buffer and a processor. The first buffer stores the codeword and sequentially outputs pieces of subgroup data obtained by dividing the codeword. The decoder generates pieces of integrity data for each of the pieces of subgroup data received from the first buffer, and performs the error correction operation on the user data using the parity code. The second buffer sequentially stores the pieces of integrity data for each of the pieces of subgroup data. The processor determines whether an error is present in the codeword based on the pieces of integrity data stored in the second buffer when at least one of the pieces of integrity data is updated in the second buffer.
