Abstract
A semiconductor memory device for performing additional error correction code (ECC) correction according to a cell pattern and an electronic system including the same are provided. The semiconductor memory device includes a memory cell array configured to store user data; and an ECC engine configured to perform first ECC encoding on the user data, output a result of the first ECC encoding as ECC information, detect a predetermined cell pattern based on the user data, and additionally perform second ECC encoding on data of a cell corresponding to the predetermined cell pattern detected. Accordingly, data errors that may occur due to a certain cell pattern are prevented.
