Abstract:
An electronic device includes an error correction circuit configured to detect an error included in internal data, to generate a failure detection signal during a read operation, and to correct the error included in the internal data during a refresh operation, and a core circuit configured to store an address signal for activating a word line in which the internal data including the error is stored through as a failure address signal when the failure detection signal is input to the core circuit, and store the error-corrected internal data in the core circuit through a word line activated by the failure address signal during the refresh operation.
