An error correction code (ECC) decoder includes a syndrome generator and a burst error corrector. The syndrome generator generates global syndrome data and local syndrome data using input data and a parity check matrix based on a constacyclic code. The burst error corrector corrects a correctable error included in the input data using the global syndrome data and the local syndrome data. The input data includes a plurality of data bits arranged along a first direction and a second direction. The ECC decoder simultaneously corrects a single burst error and a multi-bit error. The single burst error occurs on two or more symbols arranged along the first direction in the input data, and each symbol includes two or more data bits. The multi-bit error randomly occurs on two or more data bits in the input data.
