Abstract
An operating method of a controller includes transmitting an extended status check command to a nonvolatile memory device, toggling a read activation signal /RE to correspond to the number of planes inside the nonvolatile memory device, after transmitting the extended status check command, and receiving status information of planes of the nonvolatile memory device through data lines according to a data strobe signal DQS corresponding to the read activation signal /RE.
Claims25
An operating method of a controller, the operating method comprising:
- transmitting an extended status check command to a nonvolatile memory device;
- after transmitting the extended status check command, toggling a read activation signal to correspond to a number of planes in the nonvolatile memory device;
- and
- receiving status information about one or more planes in the nonvolatile memory device through data lines according to a data strobe signal corresponding to the read activation signal.
An operating method of a controller, the operating method comprising:
- transmitting an extended status check command to a nonvolatile memory device;
- transmitting a plane bitmap value in an address cycle to the nonvolatile memory device, the plane bitmap indicating at least one plane, among a plurality of planes of the nonvolatile memory device;
- toggling a read activation signal to correspond to a number of planes indicated by the plane bitmap value;
- and
- receiving status information about the at least one plane indicated by the plane bitmap value according to a data strobe signal corresponding to the read activation signal through data lines.
A controller comprising:
- a nonvolatile memory interface circuit connected to a nonvolatile memory device through a plurality of control pins and data lines and configured to control the nonvolatile memory device;
- and
- a memory device configured to store plane number information about the nonvolatile memory device,
- wherein the nonvolatile memory interface circuit is configured to:
- transmit an extended status check command to the nonvolatile memory device to determine a plane status of the nonvolatile memory device,
- toggle a read activation signal to correspond to the plane number information, and
- receive plane status information about the nonvolatile memory device through the data lines based on a data strobe signal corresponding to toggling of the read activation signal.
