Abstract:
According to one embodiment, a memory system acquires HB information and SB1 information through SB4 information on each of four pages including LOWER, MIDDLE, UPPER, and HIGHER pages from a NAND memory 100 that includes QLCs each being capable of retaining a 4-bit value. An ECC circuit 260 of a memory controller 200 decodes the acquired HB information and SB1 to SB4 information on the four pages.
