Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a memory controller configured to cause the nonvolatile memory to execute a first process of reading data based on a first request from a host device. The memory controller is configured to, when the first request is received from the host device while causing the nonvolatile memory to execute a second process, hold interruption of the second process until a first number becomes a first threshold value or more. The first number is a number of the first requests to be performed in the memory controller. The first threshold value is an integer of 2 or more.

Abstract: A memory system includes a non-volatile memory chip that includes a memory cell array, and a memory controller. The memory controller is configured to perform a read operation on the non-volatile memory chip by instructing the non-volatile memory chip to perform a sensing operation to read data stored in the memory cell array, estimating a time when the read data becomes ready to be transferred from the non-volatile memory chip to the memory controller, and instructing the non-volatile memory chip, after the estimated time, to perform a transfer operation to transfer the read data to the memory controller.

Abstract: According to an embodiment, a memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a memory controller. The nonvolatile memory includes a first memory cell configured to nonvolatilely store data of a plurality of bits including a first bit and a second bit, and a second memory cell configured to nonvolatilely store data of at least one bit. The memory controller is configured to execute a save operation in accordance with reception of a command from a host, in the save operation, write first bit data to the second memory cell in a case where the first memory cell stores the first bit data as the first bit and does not store data as the second bit, and transmit, to the host, a completion response to the command after the first bit data has been written to the second memory cell.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a controller electrically connected to the nonvolatile memory. The controller selects a write mode from a first mode in which data having N bits is written per one memory cell and a second mode in which data having M bits is written per one memory cell. N is equal to or larger than one. M is larger than N. The controller writes data into the nonvolatile memory in the selected write mode. The controller selects either the first mode or the second mode at least based on a total number of logical addresses mapped in a physical address space of the nonvolatile memory.

Abstract: A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory, a buffer, and a controller. The buffer can temporarily store a plurality of data bits to be written to the nonvolatile memory. The controller can write the plurality of data bits, read from the buffer, to the nonvolatile memory; write a plurality of intermediate parity bits to the buffer, but not to the nonvolatile memory, wherein each of the plurality of intermediate parity bits is associated with an error correction process on each of the plurality of data bits; and write, to the nonvolatile memory, an accumulated parity bit that is an integration of the plurality of intermediate parity bits.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a non-volatile memory, and a memory controller. The memory controller receives a write request for data, and determines a unit of a logical-to-physical address conversion which is a conversion between a logical address associated with the data and a physical address of the non-volatile memory into which the data is to be written, according to a size of the data.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, the semiconductor memory medium includes a first memory cell, a first word line coupled to the first memory cell, and a row decoder coupled to the first word line. A write operation is executed multiple times on the first memory cell within a first period from after an execution of an erase operation to an execution of a next erase operation. The write operation includes at least one of program loops each including a program operation and a verify operation. In the verify operation, the row decoder applies a verify voltage to the first word line. The verify voltage is set in accordance with a number of executed write operations on the first memory cell within the first period.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a nonvolatile memory, a random access memory and a controller. When writing n−1 data portions of a first unit that are included in n−1 error correction code frames of a first size, respectively, in the nonvolatile memory, the controller generates a second error correction code that constitutes an error correction code frame of a second size together with the n−1 data portions of the first unit and a second data portion to be written into the nonvolatile memory by encoding the n−1 data portions of the first unit and the second data portion, and writes the second data portion and the second error correction code into the nonvolatile memory.
