  • Patent number: 11948643
    Abstract: A nonvolatile memory device includes a memory cell array and a control unit. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory regions coupled to a plurality of word lines. The plurality of memory regions include first and second memory regions coupled to upper and lower word lines, respectively. The control logic performs, after receiving first data and second data, a first program operation on the first memory region to store the first data and a second program operation on the second memory region to store the second data.
    Type: Grant

  • Patent number: 11237767
    Abstract: A memory system, a memory controller and an operating method are disclosed. By inputting a read command to the memory device, starting to input data for a write command when the write command is input to the memory device while the memory device performs a read sensing operation for the read command, and inputting, to the memory device, data for the write command when input of the write command is started, it is possible to enhance the write performance of the memory system when the memory system executes a write operation after a read operation.

  • Patent number: 11086541
    Abstract: Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a memory system, a memory controller, and an operating method. A command from a host is received and multiple streams corresponding to the command are generated, and the size of super memory blocks is dynamically configured according to the number of multiple streams. Accordingly, the number of currently accessed memory dies can be adjusted according to the number of streams, and the cost for preventing data loss when SPO occurs can be minimized.
