Abstract
A semiconductor apparatus includes a memory device configured to include a buffer memory block and a main memory block, and to correct data read from the buffer memory block based on error information, and to perform a program loop to store corrected data in the main memory block, and a memory controller configured to perform an error checking and correction (ECC) operation on the data and to output the error information obtained through the ECC operation to the memory device.
Claims20
A method of operating a semiconductor apparatus, the method comprising:
- correcting first data read from a buffer memory block based on first error information obtained by performing a first error checking and correction (ECC) operation on the first data;
- correcting second data read from the buffer memory block based on second error information obtained by performing a second ECC operation on the second data;
- and
- performing a program loop on memory cells coupled to a selected word line in a main memory block based on the first data and the second data corrected by using the first error information and the second error information, respectively.
A method of operating a semiconductor apparatus, the method comprising:
- correcting first data read from a buffer memory block based on first error information obtained by performing a first error checking and correction (ECC) operation on the first data;
- correcting second data read from the buffer memory block based on second error information obtained by performing a second ECC operation on the second data;
- correcting third data read from the buffer memory block based on third error information obtained by performing a third ECC operation on the third data;
- and
- performing a program loop on memory cells coupled to a selected word line in a main memory block based on the first data to the third data corrected by using the first error information to the third error information, respectively.
