Abstract
A semiconductor device includes a memory circuit, an error correction code circuit, a register circuit and a write circuit. The memory circuit is configured to output, in response to at least one address signal, first data associated with at least one memory cell in the memory circuit. The error correction code circuit is configured to convert the first data to second data and configured to generate error information when the first data is not identical to the second data. The register circuit is configured to output, based on the error information, reset information corresponding to the at least one address signal. The write circuit is configured to reset the at least one memory cell according to the reset information. A method is also disclosed herein.
