    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes: a memory cell configured to hold 5-bit data; a word line coupled to the memory cell; and a row decoder configured to apply first to 31st voltages to the word line. A first bit of the 5-bit data is established by reading operations using first to sixth voltages. A second bit of the 5-bit data is established by reading operations using seventh to twelfth voltages. A third bit of the 5-bit data is established by reading operations using thirteenth to eighteenth voltages. A fourth bit of the 5-bit data is established by reading operations using nineteenth to 25th voltages. A fifth bit of the 5-bit data is established by reading operations using 26th to 31st voltages.

    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a memory controller obtains first data in a first page using a first voltage, obtains a first shift amount based on a first and second number. The first and second numbers represent numbers of bits each of which has different values in a first and second manner between the first data and first expected data. The controller obtains second data in the second page using a second voltage and a second shift amount, and obtains a third shift amount based on a third and fourth number, the third and fourth numbers respectively represent numbers of bits each of which has different values in the first and second manner between the second data and second expected data.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a semiconductor memory having a plurality of memory cells and a memory controller that controls the semiconductor memory to perform write and read operations and a read operation. The memory controller causes the semiconductor memory to execute a first write operation using a first voltage, detects, in a read operation, first memory cells among the plurality of memory cells that have a threshold voltage higher than a voltage value corresponding to data to be stored and sets a second voltage used for a second write operation after the first write operation based on a detection result of the first memory cells.
