Abstract
A memory device includes a semiconductor memory unit, and a controller configured to communicate with a host through a serial interface and access the memory semiconductor unit in response to commands received through the serial interface. The controller, in response to a first read command received through the serial interface to read data in a first page of the semiconductor memory unit, issues a first command to the semiconductor memory unit to read data in the first page and, in addition, a second command to read data in a second page that is consecutive to the first page and not specified in the first read command.
