    摘要: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor memory device includes memory cells each given one of threshold voltages to store data, and a controller configured to use read voltages to determine threshold voltages of the memory cells. The controller is configured to use voltages over a window to read data from the memory cells to determine distribution of the threshold voltages of the memory cells to estimate a read voltage. The controller is further configured to execute the estimation of a read voltage for each of the read voltages. The controller is further configured to use an estimated value of a first read voltage of the read voltages to determine a window for estimation of a second read voltage of the read voltages.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a nonvolatile semiconductor memory and a memory controller. The memory controller has a first signal generation section that generates a first signal related with a read voltage used for read operation of the nonvolatile semiconductor memory, a second signal generation section that generates a second signal that specifies the temperature coefficient used for the correction for temperature of the read voltage, and a first interface section that outputs the first signal, the second signal and a read command. The nonvolatile semiconductor memory has a word line, a memory cell array includes memory cells connected to the word line, and a second interface section that receives the first signal, the second signal and the read command.

    摘要: Each memory cell has a threshold voltage to distinguish a storage data item. A controller generates one of storage data items from one or more sets of reception data, stores the storage data item, randomizes data transmission for memory cells, instructs the cells to store the randomized data, uses read voltage candidates to read storage data from the cells, counts a distribution of voltages stored in the cells for each read voltage candidate, specifies a minimum read voltage candidate where a sum of the counting exceeds an expected number, and uses the specified candidate as a read voltage to distinguish a first storage data item corresponding to the expected number and an adjacent second storage data item.
