Abstract:
According to the embodiments, a memory system includes a nonvolatile semiconductor memory and a writing-loop-count monitoring unit that monitors a loop count of an applied voltage to the nonvolatile semiconductor memory required for data writing of the nonvolatile semiconductor memory as a writing loop count. Moreover, the memory system includes a management table for managing the writing loop count in block unit that is a unit of data erasing and a life managing unit that determines a degraded state of the nonvolatile semiconductor memory based on the management table.

Claim (Index 3):
A system comprising:\n a semiconductor nonvolatile memory configured to store data; a management unit configured to manage the semiconductor nonvolatile memory; and a control unit configured to execute a single erase operation or single write operation on a specific block of the semiconductor nonvolatile memory, each of the operations comprising inputting a first voltage to the specific block of the semiconductor nonvolatile memory a plurality of times, wherein the semiconductor nonvolatile memory includes blocks for at least one of management, replacement, and buffering, the control unit is configured to control the semiconductor nonvolatile memory on the basis of information indicating correlation between a logical address and a physical address of the semiconductor nonvolatile memory, the management unit is configured to determine degradation of the specific block on the basis of a loop count of the first voltage that was input to the specific block, the loop count being a number of pulses of the first voltage applied to the semiconductor nonvolatile memory in the single erase operation or the single write operation, and the management unit is configured to store information to be output to an external device when a number of blocks related to the degradation reaches a first threshold.
