Abstract
A memory device includes a semiconductor memory unit, a controller configured to communicate with a host through a serial interface and read data stored in a page of the semiconductor memory unit in response to a read command received through the serial interface, and an error-correcting code (ECC) circuit configured to carry out error correction with respect to data read from each unit region of the page. The controller is further configured to transmit, through the serial interface to the host, information that indicates whether or not a number of error bits detected by the ECC circuit in the data read from each unit region of the page through the error correction is greater than a predetermined value.
