Abstract:
PURPOSE: A memory system performing easer manipulation and a reading method thereof are provided to select eraser by repeating the reading operation in the same voltage level when error correction is impossible, thereby correcting the error by the eraser. CONSTITUTION: A memory controller reads a data from a memory in a reference voltage level(VR)(S110). If the error correction of data is impossible, an error correction circuit corrects an error of the data(S120,S125). Otherwise, the erasure decoding of the data is determined(S130). The eraser manipulator selects erasure candidates by repeating the reading operation in a reference voltage level(S140). A erasure manipulator manipulates eraser by the selected erasure candidates(S150).
