    Abstract: This technology relates to a memory system for processing data into a memory device and an operating method of the same. The memory system may include a memory device comprising one or more closed memory blocks each including plural pages, and a controller suitable for generating valid page counts (VPCs) for each closed memory block at least two different time points, generating a VPC offset for each closed memory block between the at least two different time points, selecting a source memory block among the closed memory blocks according to the generated VPC offsets, and performing a garbage collection operation to the selected source memory block.

    Abstract: A memory system includes a non-volatile memory device including at least one memory blocks storing a data and a controller coupled to the non-volatile memory device. The controller can perform at least one program operation or at least one erase operation within the at least one memory block. The controller can recognize an operation status of the at least one memory block in response to a time consumed for completing the at least one operation, and determine whether the at least one memory block is used and which priority is given to the at least one memory block based at least on the operation status so that the at least one memory block is allocated for a following operation.

    Abstract: A data processing system includes a memory system including a memory device storing data and a controller performing a data program operation or a data read operation with the memory device, and a host suitable for requesting the data program operation or the data read operation from the memory system. The controller can perform a serial communication to control a memory which is arranged outside the memory system and engaged with the host.

    Abstract: A memory system includes a memory device including plural memory blocks, each including plural pages storing data, and a controller suitable for loading data from first memory blocks among the plural memory blocks to perform command operations corresponding to plural commands and securing second memory blocks among the plural memory blocks to store data updated by the command operations. The controller can exclude the first memory blocks from the second memory blocks.

    Abstract: A memory system includes: a memory device; a candidate logical block address (LBA) sensor suitable for detecting a start LBA of a sequential workload as a candidate LBA, and, when a ratio of the number of update blocks to a total sum of valid page decrease amounts is less than a first threshold value, caching the candidate LBA in a loop cache; and a garbage collector suitable for performing a garbage collection operation on a victim block, when the number of free blocks in the memory device is less than a second threshold value and greater than or equal to a third threshold value and a start LBA of a subsequent sequential workload is not the same as the cached candidate LBA.

    Abstract: A memory system may include: a nonvolatile memory comprising a plurality of memory blocks, each including a plurality of pages; a volatile memory suitable for temporarily storing data transferred between a host and the nonvolatile memory; and a controller suitable for determining whether to start or end an automatic exclusive mode in response to a request from the host or a result obtained by checking a state of the nonvolatile memory, repeatedly entering into, or exiting from, the automatic exclusive mode in each set cycle when the automatic exclusive mode is started, and exclusively using the volatile memory to perform a merge operation on the nonvolatile memory during an entry period of the automatic exclusive mode in each set cycle.

    Abstract: A memory system may include: a nonvolatile memory device including a plurality of memory blocks, each of which includes a plurality of pages, and among which a subset of memory blocks are managed as a system area and remaining memory blocks are managed as a normal area; and a controller may store system data, used to control the nonvolatile memory device, in the system area, and storing boot data, used in a host and normal data updated in a control operation for the nonvolatile memory device, in the normal area, the controller may perform a checkpoint operation each time storage of N number of boot data among the boot data is completed, and may perform the checkpoint operation each time the control operation for the nonvolatile memory device is completed, ‘N’ being a natural number.
