Abstract

A memory device includes a memory cell array and an error correction code (ECC) circuit. The ECC circuit, which is configured to correct an error in a data code read out from the memory cell array, includes: (i) a syndrome calculating unit configured to operate a plurality of syndromes based on the data code and an H-matrix, (ii) an error location detecting unit configured to generate an error vector based on the plurality of syndromes, and (iii) an error correcting unit configured to correct an error within the data code based on the error vector, and output corrected data.
