    Abstract: Some embodiments include apparatuses and methods using a first memory area and a second memory area included a memory device, and using control circuitry included in the memory device to communicate with a memory controller. The memory controller includes an error correction engine. The control circuitry of the memory device is configured to retrieve the first information from the first memory area and store in the first information after the error correction engine performs an error detection operation on the first information. The control circuitry is configured to retrieve second information from the first memory area and store the second information in the second memory area without an additional error detection operation performed on the second information if a result from the error detection operation performed by the error correction engine on the first information meets a threshold condition.

    Abstract: A memory chip includes a memory cell array having a plurality of memory cells connected to word lines and bit lines, and a sense amplifier configured to detect data stored in a memory cell that is connected to a selected one of the word lines and a selected one of the bit lines, and a control circuit configured to read data from the memory cell in a first read mode when a first command is received and in a second read mode when a second command is received. A peak or an average value of an operation current that is flowing between power supply and ground terminals of the memory chip during a read operation in the first read mode is less than a peak or an average value of the operation current during a read operation in the second read mode.
