Abstract
When detected number of errors data Nerror exceeds the upper limit number of errors Nmax, an error correction circuit of a memory controller stores twice as long data length as stored data length for execution Sdata as the data length for execution Sdata in a correction information memory unit, and code length Scref longer than the data length for execution Sdata and detectable more errors than the upper limit number of errors as the code length for execution Scode in the correction information memory unit(step Sand S). The error correction circuit encodes input data using BCH code having the stored code length for execution Scode, stored encoded data in a semiconductor memory device, is input data stored in the semiconductor memory device, performs error correction for input data using BCH code, and decode error corrected data.
