Method of controlling erase operation of a memory and memory system implementing the same

摘要

A non-volatile memory and a method of controlling an erase operation of the non-volatile memory using a controller are provided. The method of controlling the erase operation includes beginning performance of the erase operation, monitoring a next command to be performed in the non-volatile memory while performing the erase operation, determining an erase status, and continuing, suspending or canceling the erase operation based on the determination result of the erase status.

1. A method, executed by a memory controller, of controlling an erase operation of a non-volatile memory, the method comprising:
beginning performance of the erase operation; monitoring for an existence of a next command, received from an external host device, to be performed in the non-volatile memory while performing the erase operation; determining an erase status of the erase operation; and selectively continuing, suspending, or canceling the erase operation based on the determination result of the erase status and the existence of the next command.
