An error correcting method of a memory system includes: reading read data and an error correction code from a plurality of memory chips; correcting an error of the read data using the error correction code; temporarily storing the read data and the error correction code in a buffer when the correcting of the error fails; writing a certain input test pattern in the plurality of memory chips, reading an output test pattern written in the plurality of memory chips, and detecting a fail chip in which a chipkill occurs; recorrecting, based on a location of the detected fail chip, the error of the read data stored in the buffer using the error correction code stored in the buffer; and rewriting error-corrected read data and the error correction code in the plurality of memory chips.

Memory module, memory system including the same, and error correcting method thereof

An operation method of a memory controller may include: performing a preset number of write operations on a redundancy region of a memory device, reading data of the redundancy region of the memory device, and detecting error bits which occur in the data, and generating an identifier corresponding to the memory device based on the detected error bits.

Memory device, memory controller and operation method thereof

Disclosed is an address mapping method of a memory system. The address mapping method may include grouping adjacent memory cells into multiple cubes, from a plurality of memory cells respectively located at intersections of a plurality of row lines and a plurality of column lines; allocating most significant bit (MSB) N bits of a physical address for identifying the cubes; allocating least significant bit (LSB) M bits of the physical address for designating locations of memory cells included in each of the cubes, M and N being positive integers; storing information about a mapping between a logical address and the (M+N)-bit physical address in a mapping table; and when the logical address in response to an external request is received, translating the logical address to the physical address based on the mapping table.
