Abstract

A memory device including a memory cell array, a redundant fuse circuit and a memory controller is provided. The memory cell array includes multiple regular memory blocks and multiple redundant memory blocks. The redundant fuse circuit includes multiple fuse groups recording multiple repair information. Each repair information is associated with a corresponding one of the redundant memory blocks and includes a repair address, a first enable bit, and a second enable bit. The memory controller includes multiple determining circuits. Each of the multiple determining circuits generates a hit signal according to an operation address, the repair address, the first enable bit, and the second enable bit. When a target memory block is bad, and the determining circuit of the memory controller generates the hit signal, the memory controller disables the redundant memory block that is bad according to the hit signal.
