Abstract
A memory system has a memory unit that is made of memory cells, each of which assumes a record state with a threshold voltage according to data. If an inverter has performed reverse processing on a data sequence so as to make the number of the memory cells in a predetermined record state great based on a count of a counter in a record operation, the memory system sets a flag added to the data sequence to indicate that the reverse processing has been performed, and performs re-reverse processing on the data sequence to which the flag indicating that the inverter has performed the reverse processing is added in a reproducing operation.
