    Abstract: A semiconductor storage device comprises first and second memory cells each including a variable-resistance element, a write driver, and a control circuit that concurrently performs an operation to read first data in the first memory cell and second data in the second memory cell, the operation to read the first data including a first write operation for a first time length and the operation to read the second data including a second write operation for a second time length. In the first write operation, the write driver applies, to the first memory cell, a first voltage for a third time length and a second voltage different from the first voltage for a fourth time length. In the second write operation, the write driver applies the first voltage to the second memory cell for a fifth time length longer than the third time length and longer than the fourth time length.

    Abstract: A memory system includes a management-information restoring unit. The management-information restoring unit determines whether a short break has occurred referring to a pre-log or a post-log in a NAND memory. The management-information restoring unit determines that a short break has occurred when the pre-log or the post-log is present in the NAND memory. In that case, the management-information restoring unit determines timing of occurrence of the short break, and, after selecting a pre-log or a post-log used for restoration, performs restoration of the management information reflecting these logs on a snapshot. Thereafter, the management-information restoring unit applies recovery processing to all write-once blocks in the NAND memory, takes the snapshot again, and opens the snapshot and the logs in the past.

    Abstract: In a memory, a first node holds first data from a first cell. A second node holds second data from a second cell near the first cell. A differential circuit includes a first current path passing a first current corresponding to a voltage of the first node and a second current path passing a second current corresponding to a voltage of the second node, and outputs an output signal corresponding to a voltage difference between the first and the second nodes from an output part. A first register latches the output signal and output the signal as a hold signal. A first offset part is connected to the first current path and offsets the first current when the hold signal has a first logic level. A second offset part is connected to the second current path and offsets the second current when the hold signal has a second logic level.
