A memory controller includes a plurality of control signal pads and selectively controls a first-type memory and a second-type memory. The memory controller also includes a control signal generation unit configured to generate a control signal for controlling a selected memory. The memory controller further includes a control signal transfer unit configured to apply bits of a first control signal generated for controlling the first-type memory to respective control signal pads of the plurality of control signal pads, apply bits of a second control signal generated for controlling the second-type memory to a first control signal pad group selected among the plurality of control signal pads, and apply the second control signal to a second control signal pad group which is selected among the plurality of control signal pads independently of the first control signal pad group.
