Abstract

An Error correction code (ECC) decoder including an input manager configured to sequentially receive a first read data including a plurality of data units read from a plurality of sectors in a memory cell array of a nonvolatile memory device, by unit of sector, a pre-decoder configured to sequentially receive the first read data and generate a respective syndrome of each of the data units, and a main decoder configured to sequentially perform a first ECC decoding on the first read data based on the respective syndrome. The input manager includes a defective sector buffer to store a data unit having a minimum expected error count from among data units on which a first ECC decoding is failed. The main decoder performs a second ECC decoding on a defective data unit stored in the defective sector buffer and receives a second read data from a selected sector corresponding to the defective data unit.
