Abstract
An electronic device includes a semiconductor memory. The semiconductor memory may include: a memory circuit comprising a plurality of memory cells; a read circuit configured to generate a first read data signal by reading data from a read target memory cell according to a first read control signal, the read target memory cell being among the plurality of memory cells; and a control circuit configured to control the read circuit to reread the data from the read target memory cell by generating a second read control signal, the second read control signal being based on a data value of the first read data signal.
Claims6
A method of driving an electronic device including a semiconductor memory, the method comprising:
- setting, during a test mode, first and second read voltages in consideration of a characteristic distribution of a plurality of memory cells;
- generating a first read data signal by reading, during a normal mode, data from a read target memory cell among the plurality of memory cells;
- and
- deciding, during the normal mode, to reread the data from the read target memory cell based on a data value of the first read data signal.
