Abstract

See full text

A memory system includes a memory device. The memory device includes a substrate. A memory array defines a plurality of pages, each page including a data area for storing data and a spare area for storing a program/erase (PE) count value, the PE count value indicating a number of PE cycles performed on the page. A PE count circuit is configured to perform a PE count read operation on a target page. A host determines whether to perform a data write operation on the target page or another PE count read operation on a new target page based on a result of the PE count read operation. PE cycles of a page are controlled by the PE count read operation. The memory array and the PE count circuit are formed in different layers of the substrate.
