Abstract
A memory system includes: a memory device including a plurality of memory blocks; a memory; a data classifier suitable for classifying check-pointing information stored in the memory as selective information and mandatory information; and a check-pointing component suitable for performing a control to periodically perform a check-pointing operation of programming the selective information and the mandatory information in a memory block, wherein the check-pointing component performs the check-pointing operation by performing a control to program the mandatory information after programming the selective information.
Claims20
A memory system, comprising:
- a memory device including a plurality of memory blocks;
- a memory;
- a data classifier suitable for classifying check-pointing information stored in the memory as selective information and mandatory information;
- and
- a check-pointing component suitable for controlling the memory device to periodically perform a check-pointing operation of programming the selective information and the mandatory information in a memory block,
- wherein the check-pointing component controls the memory device to perform the check-pointing operation by programming the mandatory information after programming the selective information.
A method for operating a memory system, comprising:
- classifying check-pointing information stored in a memory into selective information and mandatory information;
- and
- periodically performing a check-pointing operation of programming the selective information and the mandatory information in a memory block,
- wherein the check-pointing operation is performed by programming the mandatory information after programming the selective information.
