Abstract
The present invention provides a non-volatile memory system capable of suppressing excessive stress to normal cells and ensuring data retention margin of normal cells. In one embodiment of the non-volatile memory system, it determines whether or not error correction is possible for addresses judged to fail in the erase verify process, counts the number of addresses determined to be error-correctable, and if the number of such addresses is less than or equal to a predetermined number, the erase process is determined to be normal.
