    Abstract: A memory system according to an embodiment includes a semiconductor memory, and a memory controller. The semiconductor memory comprises memory cells and word lines. Each of the word lines is connected to the memory cells. The memory controller executes a patrol operation including a read operation of the semiconductor memory. The word lines are classified into one of first and second groups. The memory controller executes patrol operations in which the word lines are respectively selected in a first patrol period and, in a second patrol period subsequent to the first patrol period, executes a patrol operation in which the word line included in the first group is selected and omits a patrol operation in which the word line included in the second group is selected.

    Abstract: According to an embodiment, a semiconductor memory, on receiving a first command, applies a voltage within a first range and a voltage within a second range to a word line and reads a first bit from a memory cell, and, on receiving a second command, applies a voltage within a third range to the word line and reads a second bit from the memory cell. The controller issues the first command a plurality of times and changes the voltages to be applied to the word line within the first range and the second range in accordance with the plurality of first commands, specifies a first and second voltage within the first and the second range, respectively, and estimates a third voltage within the third range. The voltage applied to read the second bit is the estimated third voltage.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a controller is configured to write four-bit data in each of memory cells, and read first data item from the memory cells through application of a first voltage to a word line. The controller is configured to read second data items by repeating a first operation of reading data including data of respective first bits of the memory cells through application of two voltages to the word line at different timings while changing the two voltages in each first operation from the two voltages in another first operation. The controller is configured to mask part of each of the second data items using the first data.

    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a semiconductor memory device and a controller. The device includes a plurality of memory cells capable of storing at least first to third data and a word line coupled to the plurality of memory cells. The first data is determined by a first read operation including a first read level. The second data is determined by a second read operation including a second read level. The third data is determined by a third read operation including a third read level. The controller controls the semiconductor memory device to perform a forth read operation including the first and second read levels in a search operation for first to third read voltages corresponding to the first to third read levels, respectively.
