Abstract

A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory including memory cells each configured to store first and second bits, and a memory controller. The memory controller is configured to: read first data by using a first voltage to a first read process that reads data corresponding to the first bit from the memory cells; read second data by using a second voltage to a second read process that reads data corresponding to the second bit from the memory cells; in a case where an error correction process of the first data is successful, determine a third voltage, based on the first data and third data that is obtained by error-correcting the first data; and update a first read voltage that is used to the first read process, from the first voltage to the third voltage.
