Abstract: A memory controller according to an embodiment includes a control circuit configured to duplicate and store data received from an external host device. The control circuit is configured to, when a write request specifying first data and a first logical address is received: i) allocate a first physical address corresponding to a first bit to the first logical address, and order a first memory device to write the first data to the first physical address; and ii) allocate a first mirroring physical address corresponding to a second bit to the first physical address, and order a second memory device to write the first data to the first mirroring physical address. A number of reads the first bit is different from a number of reads for the second bit.

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: A memory device includes a first block including a first memory cell and a first word line connected to the first memory cell, a second block including a second memory cell and a second word line connected to the second memory cell, and a control circuit. The control circuit applies a first voltage to each of the first and second word lines to supply a first erase pulse having a first erase intensity to each of the first and second blocks, when a first erase operation is executed, and applies the first voltage to the first word line and a second voltage higher than the first voltage to the second word line, to supply the first erase pulse to the first block and a second erase pulse having a second erase intensity less than the first erase intensity to the second block, when a second erase operation is executed.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a memory chip and a memory controller. A first cell unit and a second cell unit are classified into a first group. A third cell unit is classified into a second group. The memory controller is configured to use a first correction amount of a read voltage when data of the first group is read and to use a second correction amount of the read voltage when data of the second group is read. When a time difference from a write operation of the first cell unit to the write operation of the second cell unit exceeds a reference value, the memory controller is configured to change a boundary position between the first group and the second group to between the first cell unit and the second cell unit, and to classify the second cell unit into the second group.

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.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a shift register memory writes data having a first size corresponding to a capacity of a block to a plurality of layers of a plurality of data storing shift strings included in the block, in response to a first command sequence specifying a first write mode from a controller. In response to a second command sequence specifying a second write mode from the controller, the shift register memory writes data having a second size smaller than the capacity of the block to the plurality of layers of one or more first data storing shift strings of the plurality of data storing shift strings, without writing data to each of other data storing shift strings except the one or more first data storing shift strings.
