Abstract

A memory device includes first and second memory cell arrays, and a control circuit configured to output first information indicating whether the first memory cell array is in a ready state in which the control circuit is ready to receive a command to access the first memory cell array or a busy state in which the control circuit is not ready to receive the command to access the first memory cell array, and second information indicating whether the second memory cell array is in a ready state in which the control circuit is ready to receive a command to access the second memory cell array or a busy state in which the control circuit is not ready to receive the command to access the second memory cell array.
