Abstract:
Provided is a method of operating a memory system. The method includes programming first bit data into multiple memory cells; identifying target memory cells that are in a first state and have threshold voltages equal to or greater than a first voltage from the memory cells programmed with the first bit data; receiving second bit data which is to be programmed into the memory cells; calculating multiple third bit data by performing a first process on the second bit data; and selecting third bit data of the calculated multiple third bit data that changes a largest number of target memory cells from the first state to a second state when the memory cells are programmed with each of the multiple third bit data, respectively. The selected third bit data is programmed into the memory cells.
Abstract:
A memory device, a memory system, and an operating method of the memory system is provided. The operating method includes operations of transmitting an authentication request to a memory device using a memory controller; converting the authentication request to a first address using the memory device; processing authentication data that corresponds to the first address and indicates a physical characteristic of the memory device and transmitting the authentication data as an authentication response to the authentication request to the memory controller using the memory device; and verifying whether the authentication response received from the memory device is an authentication response to the authentication request using the memory controller.
Abstract:
A method is provided for determining a deterioration condition of a memory device. The method includes calculating first information corresponding to a number of bits having a first logic value from data obtained by performing a first read operation on target storage region of the memory device using a first reference voltage as a read voltage, and calculating second information corresponding to a number of bits having a second logic value from data obtained by performing a second read operation on the target storage region using a second reference voltage as the read voltage. A deterioration condition of the target storage region is determined based on the first and second information. The first reference voltage is less than a first read voltage by which an erase state of the memory device is distinguished from an adjacent program state, and the second reference voltage is higher than the first read voltage.

Abstract:
A method of operating a memory system including a first function block and a second function block includes generating a first authentication response indicating physical characteristics of the memory system, via the second function block, in response to a first authentication request received from the first function block; performing an error correction decoding on the first authentication response, via the first function block, by using first parity data corresponding to the first authentication request; and determining whether the second function block is authentic, depending on a result of the error correction decoding.
Abstract:
An apparatus that receives a non-binary polar code through a channel includes a low-complexity decoder and a memory. The low-complexity decoder is configured to selectively calculate first common terms for input symbols in the non-binary polar code other than a first input symbol corresponding to a first target output symbol. The selective calculation uses a lower triangular kernel and log likelihood ratios of the input symbols generated based on a channel characteristic of the channel. The low-complexity decoder is also configured to calculate log likelihood ratios of the first target output symbol using the first common terms and to determine a value of the first target output symbol based on the log likelihood ratios of the first target output symbol. The memory is accessible by the low-complexity decoder and is configured to store the first common terms.
