Abstract

A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory having a plurality of nonvolatile memory chips incorporated therein, a control circuit that controls the nonvolatile memory, an MPU that controls the control circuit, and an interface circuit that communicates with a host, all of which are mounted on a board of the memory system, and the memory system further includes a bus switch that switches connection of a signal line between the control circuit and the nonvolatile memory chips.

Claims (6)

1 . A memory device comprising:

a plurality of memory chips including at least a first memory chip;

a first signal line configured to receive a first signal, the first signal including address data;

a second signal line configured to receive a second signal, the second signal being capable of activating first target memory chips among the plurality of memory chips; and

a third signal line configured to receive a third signal different from the second signal, the third signal being capable of activating second target memory chips among the plurality of memory chips; wherein

the first memory chip is included in both of the first target memory chips and the second target memory chips, and the first memory chip is enabled to be accessed by the first signal if the first target memory chips is activated by the second signal and the second target memory chips is activated by the third signal.
