    摘要: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes a semiconductor memory and a controller. The semiconductor memory includes first blocks including a memory cell capable of storing data of one bit, a second block including a memory cell capable of storing data of two or more bits. The semiconductor memory stores first data in a first latch circuit, and second data in a second latch circuit, and writes the first data into one of the first blocks in page units, and the second data into one of the first blocks in page units. The semiconductor memory writes data of at least two pages into the second block, using the first data stored in the first latch circuit and the second data stored in the second latch circuit.

    摘要: According to one embodiment, a semiconductor storage device includes a first memory cell capable of storing n-bit data (n is a natural number not less than 4). When receiving first data, including first and second bits of the n-bit data, from a controller, the semiconductor storage device writes the received first data to the first memory cell. After receiving the first data, when the semiconductor storage device receives second data including third and fourth bits of the n-bit data, the semiconductor storage device reads the first and second bits from the first memory cell and writes the n-bit data to the first memory cell based on the read first and second bits and the received second data.

    摘要: A memory system includes a semiconductor memory device having memory cells arranged in rows and columns, and a controller configured to issue a write command with or without a partial page program command to the semiconductor memory device. The semiconductor memory device, in response to the write command issued without the partial page command, executes a first program operation on a page of memory cells and then a first verify operation on the memory cells of the page using a first verify voltage for all of the memory cells of the page, and in response to the write command issued with the partial page command, executes a second program operation on a subset of the memory cells of the page and then a second verify operation on the memory cells of the subset using one of several different second verify voltages corresponding to the subset.

    摘要: 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.

    摘要: 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.
