  • Patent number: 8108755
    Abstract: Example embodiments provide a method and apparatus of correcting error data due to charge loss within a non-volatile memory device including a plurality of memory cells. The method of correcting error data within the non-volatile memory devices may include detecting error data in a second data group by comparing a first data group read from memory cells in response to a first voltage with the second data group read from memory cells in response to a second voltage. The second voltage is higher than the first voltage. Error data in the first data group is detected by error-correcting code (ECC). Re-writing data in the memory cells is performed by correcting error data in the first data group and error data in the second data group. A central processing unit (CPU) may detect error in the second data group. The second data group may be read through a page buffer and compared with the first data group stored in a SRAM. The detected error may be updated to the page buffer.
