Abstract
A memory system includes a semiconductor memory device including a plurality of memory blocks, including a first block storing data and a second block storing backup data, a plurality of pins, and a controller configured to output a control signal to the semiconductor memory in accordance with the command. When the controller receives from outside of the memory system, a read command for the data in the first block, and the data in the first block are available, the controller is configured to transmit the data in the first block to the outside of the memory system. When the controller receives from outside of the memory system, a read command for the data in the first block, and the data in the first block are not available, the controller is configured to transmit the backup data in the second block to the outside of the memory system.
