Abstract
A method for operating a memory system includes providing a memory system including a memory controller, and first and second memory devices constituting a ring topology. The memory controller is connected to the first memory device through first and second links. The second memory device is disposed on the first link. The first memory device starts a first operation. The first link is used as a communication path between the first memory device and the memory controller. The second memory device starts a second operation before the first memory device completes the first operation. The communication path between the first memory device and the memory controller is changed into the second link. The first link is used as a communication path between the second memory device and the memory controller.
