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 2):
A system comprising:\n a semiconductor nonvolatile memory configured to store data; and a controller configured to: manage the semiconductor nonvolatile memory, execute a single erase operation or single write operation on a specific block of the semiconductor nonvolatile memory, each of the operations including applying a first voltage to the specific block of the semiconductor nonvolatile memory a plurality of times, 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 generate a warning indication when a number of blocks related to the degradation reaches a first threshold.
