Abstract
Integrated circuit memory systems and methods include comparing a number of erase cycles of a memory block corresponding to a read request to a first value and reading data stored in the memory block according to a first read condition corresponding to a first reliability improvement operation when the number of erase cycles of the memory block is less than the first value. An error of the data read according to the first read condition may be corrected using an error correction code (ECC) when the error of the data read according to the first read condition is correctable.
