Abstract: In connection with a write operation, a memory controller transmits a first command sequence to a memory chip, thereby causing the memory chip to execute a first-stage program operation that includes a first operation and a first part of a second operation after the first operation, and a second command sequence to the memory chip after the first-stage program operation is executed, thereby causing the memory chip to execute a second-stage program operation that includes a second part of the second operation and no part of the first operation. During the first operation, a program voltage is applied a plurality of times while increasing the program voltage each of the times by a first step size. During the second operation, the program voltage is applied a plurality of times while increasing the program voltage each of the times by a second step size smaller than the first step size.

Abstract: According to the one embodiment, a memory system includes a semiconductor memory device and a memory controller. The semiconductor memory device includes: first and second memory cells stacked above a substrate; a first word line coupled to the first and second memory cells; a first bit line coupled to the first memory cell; and a second bit line coupled to the second memory cell. A first state read operation includes a first read operation for reading data from the first memory cell and a second read operation for reading data from the second memory cell. A first read voltage is applied to the first word line during a first period for executing the first read operation, and a second read voltage is applied to the first word line during a second period for executing the second read operation.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a semiconductor memory device and a controller. The semiconductor memory device includes a first memory cell configured to store data. The controller is configured to output a first parameter and a first command. The first parameter relates to an erase voltage for a first erase operation with respect to the first memory cell. The first command instructs the first erase operation. The controller outputs the first command after outputting the first parameter to the semiconductor memory device.
