发明名称 Memory device and memory system having the same
摘要 A memory device includes a memory cell array, a multi-purpose register (MPR) and a control unit. The memory cell array includes a plurality of memory blocks. The multi-purpose register (MPR) stores physical address information for each of the plurality of memory blocks. The control unit outputs the physical address information stored in the multi-purpose register in response to an MPR read command received from a memory controller.

主权项 1. A memory system, comprising: a memory device including a memory cell array and a multi-purpose register (MPR) configured to store physical information of a plurality of memory blocks included in the memory cell array; and a memory controller configured to control the memory device, and configured to provide an MPR read command to the memory device at startup of the memory system, wherein the memory device provides the physical information stored in the multi-purpose register to the memory controller in response to the MPR read command, wherein the physical information includes address information of each of the plurality of memory blocks, wherein the memory controller is configured to select a memory block that is required to be refreshed among the plurality of memory blocks based on the address information and provide a refresh command and a refresh address corresponding to a start address of the selected memory block to the memory device, wherein each of the plurality of memory blocks includes a plurality of pages, and wherein the memory controller is configured to provide consecutive active commands to the memory device with a first interval between consecutive active commands when the consecutive active commands correspond to pages included in a same memory block, and provide consecutive active command to the memory device with a second interval smaller than the first interval between consecutive active commands when the consecutive active command correspond to a page included in a different memory block.
