In general, according to an embodiment, a memory system includes a memory device including a memory cell; and a controller. The controller is configured to: receive first data from the memory cell in a first data reading; receive second data from the memory cell in a second data reading that is different from the first data reading; convert a first value that is based on the first data and the second data, to a second value in accordance with a first relationship; and convert the first value to a third value in accordance with a second relationship that is different from the first relationship.

Memory system

A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory and a memory controller configured to perform reading of a concatenation code from the nonvolatile memory in response to an external command, the memory controller including a decoder circuit which decodes a reception word in the concatenation code. The decoder circuit includes a first external code decoder that performs decoding on an external code portion, an internal code in-error bit estimation unit that performs estimation of an in-error bit on a bit sequence from the first external code decoder, based on a rule for an internal code in the concatenation code, and outputs a set of in-error bits that is obtained by the estimation, and a second external code decoder that performs decoding which uses the set of in-error bits that is output from the internal code in-error bit estimation unit, on the bit sequence from the first external code decoder.
