Abstract
A semiconductor memory apparatus may include: a memory cell array; an ECC (Error Check and Correction) circuit configured to detect an error from data read from the memory cell array in response to a read command, correct the detected error, and output an error correction signal whenever an error is corrected; and an EF (Error Flag) generator configured to enter a flag output mode when the number of times that the error correction signal is generated during a monitoring period reaches a threshold, and output the error correction signal as an error flag in the flag output mode.
