Abstract
A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory module and a memory controller. The nonvolatile memory module includes a plurality of memory chips and a module controller disposed on a printed circuit board. The module controller controls operations of the plurality of memory chips. Each of the plurality of memory chips includes a plurality of nonvolatile memory cells and operates in an operation mode. The operation mode is either a memory mode or a storage mode. The memory controller performs a write operation and a read operation on the nonvolatile memory module, and performs a first error check and correction (ECC) operation on data communicated with the nonvolatile memory module. One of the module controller or the plurality of memory chips performs a second ECC operation on data stored in the plurality of memory chips based on the operation mode of the plurality of memory chips.
