ERROR CORRECTION CIRCUIT, NONVOLATILE MEMORY DEVICE THEREOF AND DRIVING METHOD THEREOF

摘要

PURPOSE: An error correcting circuit, a nonvolatile memory device including the same, and a driving method thereof are provided to minimize size by asymmetrically arranging an encoder and a decoder. CONSTITUTION: An encoder(110) receives message data and generates a parity bit to correct a bit error. A decoder(220) receives message data and the parity bit and produces an error location of the message data. The message data is inputted to the encoder with n bits in parallel. The message data is inputted to the decoder with m bits in parallel, where n is different from m.
