Abstract

A memory device is provided, including a memory array and a selection circuit. At least one first faulty cell and at least one second faulty cell that are in the memory array store data corresponding to, respectively, first and second fields of a floating-point number. The selection circuit identifies the at least one first faulty cell and the at least one second faulty cell based on a priority of a cell replacement operation which indicates that a priority of the at least one first faulty cell is higher than that of the at least one second faulty cell. The selection circuit further outputs a fault address of the at least one first faulty cell to a redundancy analyzer circuit for replacing the at least one first faulty cell.
