Abstract
According to one embodiment, a semiconductor integrated circuit, also referred to as a bridge chip or circuit, has a first interface circuit configured to be connected to a control device and a second interface circuit configured to be connected to a memory chip. A controller in the integrated circuit is configured to transfer a first command sequence for commanding a dummy read operation on a storage region of the memory chip via the second interface circuit before executing a patrol read operation on the storage region of the memory chip based on a request from the control device received via the first interface circuit.
