SEMICONDUCTOR MEMORY DEVICE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18417093 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 contains 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 to the sense amplifiers in each bank.

  • The semiconductor memory device has multiple banks with data and ECC code recording units.
  • Sense amplifiers read and write data in each bank.
  • An ECC code generation unit creates error correction codes.
  • An error correction unit corrects data errors using the generated codes.
  • The first bus connects sense amplifiers and the error correction unit.
  • The second bus connects the ECC code generation unit to the sense amplifiers in each bank.

Original Abstract Submitted

A semiconductor memory device includes a plurality of banks, a sense amplifier, an ECC code generation unit, an error correction unit, a first bus, and a second bus. The banks include a data recording unit in which rewritten data is to be written, and an ECC code recording unit in which an error correction code corresponding to the rewritten data is to be written. The sense amplifier is included in each of the banks and configured to read and write data from and to each of the banks. The ECC code generation unit generates the error correction code. The error correction unit corrects an error of data using the error correction code. The first bus connects the sense amplifier in each of the banks and the error correction unit. The second bus connects the ECC code generation unit and the sense amplifier in each of the banks.
