MEMORY DEVICE INCLUDING ERROR CORRECTION DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18080282 titled 'MEMORY DEVICE INCLUDING ERROR CORRECTION DEVICE
Simplified Explanation
The memory device described in the patent application includes multiple cell blocks for storing different types of data, a repair information storage circuit for outputting repair signals based on stored repair information, and an error correction circuit for correcting errors in the data using error correction codes.
- The memory device has first cell blocks for storing first data, a second cell block for storing second data, and a third cell block for storing third data.
- The repair information storage circuit outputs repair use signals based on stored repair information corresponding to input addresses.
- The error correction circuit receives second data as a first error correction code from the second cell block and selectively receives third data as a second error correction code from the third cell block based on the repair use signal.
- The error correction circuit corrects errors in the first data from the first cell blocks using the first and second error correction codes.
