    摘要: First and second ferroelectric capacitors are selectively connected with a first bit line. Data is read to the first bit line from a first ferroelectric capacitor by applying a first voltage in a coordinate increasing direction of an axis or from the second ferroelectric capacitor by applying a second voltage having a sign opposite to the first voltage in the coordinate increasing direction. Third and fourth ferroelectric capacitors are selectively connected with a second bit line. Data is read to the second bit line from the third ferroelectric capacitor by applying a third voltage having the same sign as the first voltage in the coordinate increasing direction or from the fourth ferroelectric capacitor by applying a fourth voltage having the same sign as the second voltage in the coordinate increasing direction. A sense amplifier amplifies the potential difference between the first and second bit lines.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a nonvolatile first memory, a nonvolatile second memory, a data-copy processing unit and a data invalidation processing unit. The first memory has a storage capacity for n (n≧2) pages per word line. The nonvolatile second memory temporarily stores user data write-requested from a host apparatus. The data-copy processing unit executes data copy processing including reading out, in page units, the user data stored in the second memory and sequentially writing the read-out user data in page units in the first memory. The data invalidation processing unit selects, after the execution of the data copy processing, based on whether the memory cell group per word line stores user data for n pages, user data requiring backup out of the user data subjected to the data copy processing and leaves the selected user data in the second memory as backup data.
