  • Patent number: 12217821
    Abstract: A storage device includes a memory device including a plurality of memory dies; and a memory controller for addressing a memory die among the plurality of memory dies by using an address latch enable (ALE) signal and a command latch enable (CLE) signal, which are input during predetermined N cycles, where N is a natural number, and controlling the memory device such that the memory die performs a memory operation. The memory controller may address the memory die by addressing a channel among a plurality of channels respectively connected to a plurality of package groups by using a chip enable (CE) signal.
