  • Patent number: 10719395
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a memory system includes an error mitigation encoder that executes error mitigation coding on write data to be stored in a processing target page of a non-volatile memory, a memory interface that writes the write data which has undergone the error mitigation coding in the processing target page of the non-volatile memory and reads the write data which has undergone the error mitigation coding from the processing target page as read data, an error mitigation decoder that performs error mitigation decoding on the read data read from the processing target page of the non-volatile memory, and an error mitigation coding rate deciding unit that decides an error mitigation coding rate of the error mitigation encoder and the error mitigation decoder on the basis of at least one of information indicating the processing target page and information indicating a device characteristic of the processing target page.

  • Patent number: 10089241
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a controller writes either processed data or preprocessing data and flags into each page included in m pages. The processed data is data after first data translation of write data to be written into a relevant page. The preprocessing data is data before the first data translation of the write data to be written into the relevant page. Each of the flag at least represents whether or not the first data translation is performed for write data to be written into the relevant page.

  • Patent number: 10061691
    Abstract: According to one embodiment, a controller writes first processed data acquired by a first process into a nonvolatile memory during a first period. The controller writes second processed data acquired by a second process into the nonvolatile memory during a second period. The first process is for the purpose of improving the endurance of memory cells. The second process is for the purpose of decreasing inter-cell interferences between adjacent cells.
