Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system is provided with a nonvolatile memory, a controller, a volatile memory and an address translation table. The address translation table includes a high level and a plurality of low levels. The high level indicates positions in the nonvolatile memory in which the low levels are recorded. The low levels indicate positions in the nonvolatile memory in which data is recorded. The controller holds the high level of the address translation table in the first area of the volatile memory, and shuts off the supply of power to the second area of the volatile memory based on a transition from a normal-power state to a low-power state.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory controller includes a first volatile memory, a second volatile memory, and a controller. The first volatile memory temporarily stores therein data acquired from outside. The controller controls the temporarily stored data to be transferred from the first volatile memory to a non-volatile memory, stores correspondence information of the transferred data to the non-volatile memory in the second volatile memory, and updates correspondence information stored in the non-volatile memory based on the correspondence information stored in the second volatile memory by using the first volatile memory after the data transfer as a work area. The correspondence information represents association between a logical address and a physical address of the data.

Abstract: A memory system includes a first nonvolatile memory, a second nonvolatile memory with a longer access latency than the first nonvolatile memory, a first error correction unit, a second error correction unit, and an interface. The first nonvolatile memory stores first data and a first error correction code generated for the first data. The second nonvolatile memory stores a second error correction code which is generated for the first data with a higher correction ability than that of the first error correction code. The first error correction unit performs error correction on the first data by using the first error correction code. The second error correction unit performs error correction on the first data by using the second error correction code. The interface transmits the first data after the error correction to a host.
