SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240296091 titled 'SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE
The semiconductor memory device described in the abstract consists of multiple banks, a sense amplifier, an ECC code generation unit, an error correction unit, a first bus, and a second bus. Each bank includes a data recording unit for rewritten data and an ECC code recording unit for corresponding error correction codes. The sense amplifier reads and writes data in each bank, while the ECC code generation unit creates error correction codes and the error correction unit fixes data errors using these codes. The first bus connects the sense amplifiers and the error correction unit, while the second bus links the ECC code generation unit and the sense amplifiers in each bank.
