Abstract: A semiconductor memory device includes a first plane including a memory cell array, a second plane including a memory cell array, a control circuit configured to control operations performed on the first and second planes separately and independently, and first register for storing a condition value related to a condition of an operation to be performed on a plane.

When the first plane is specified by the first address, the control circuit determines whether the first plane is in a command receivable state. Then, when the control circuit determines that the first plane is in the command receivable state, the control circuit stores the first condition value in the first address of the first register.
