Abstract

According to one embodiment, a memory controller transmits a first instruction to a memory device. The memory device includes cell transistors; word lines coupled to gates of the cell transistors; a first data latch; and a second latch. The first instruction instructs application of a positive voltage to one of the word lines. The memory controller transmits a second instruction after the transmission of the first instruction and before transmitting a third instruction. The third instruction instructs output of data from the memory device. The second instruction is different from the third instruction and a fourth instruction instructing copy of data from the first data latch to the second data latch.
