Abstract
A storage device may include an external NAND control (ENC) circuit and a nonvolatile memory device. The ENC circuit may include a deserializer configured to deserialize data received from an external device, a buffer memory configured to store the data, and a data loader configured to generate a control signal based on the data. The nonvolatile memory device may include a memory cell array, a voltage generator, a row decoder, and a page buffer. The data may include control information associated with implementing a hardware algorithm.

A storage device comprising:
- an external NAND control (ENC) circuit comprising a deserializer configured to deserialize data received from an external device, a buffer memory configured to store the data, and a data loader configured to generate a control signal based on the data;
- and
- a nonvolatile memory device comprising a memory cell array, a voltage generator, a row decoder, and a page buffer,
- wherein the data comprises control information associated with implementing a hardware algorithm.
A method of operating a storage device comprising an external NAND control (ENC) circuit configured to receive data from an external device, and a nonvolatile memory device, the method comprising:
- receiving data from the external device;
- dividing the received data into a plurality of channels;
- storing the divided data in a buffer memory;
- and
- acquiring memory cell characteristics by generating a control signal based on the divided data and applying the control signal to the nonvolatile memory device,
- wherein the data comprises control information associated with implementing a hardware algorithm.
A memory system comprising an external device and a storage device,
- wherein the external device is configured to provide the storage device with data associated with identifying memory cell characteristics of the storage device,
- wherein the storage device comprises an extended NAND control (ENC) circuit and a nonvolatile memory device, the ENC circuit comprising a deserializer configured to deserialize the data received from the external device, a buffer memory configured to store the data, and a data loader configured to generate a control signal based on the data, the nonvolatile memory device comprising a memory cell array,
- wherein the data comprises control information associated with implementing a hardware algorithm.
