Abstract
The present technology relates to an electronic device. According to the present technology, a storage device having an improved operation speed may include a nonvolatile memory device, a main memory configured to temporarily store data related to controlling the nonvolatile memory device, and a memory controller configured to control the nonvolatile memory device and the main memory under control of an external host. The main memory may aggregate and process a number of write transactions having continuous addresses, among write transactions received from the memory controller, equal to a burst length unit of the main memory.
Claims19
A method of operating a memory controller that controls a memory device, the method comprising:
- generating a codeword by performing encoding on data corresponding to a write transaction received from an external host;
- merging the codeword with other codewords to produce a merged codeword associated with a merged transaction;
- and
- providing the merged codeword corresponding to a burst length to the memory device by performing a burst operation,
- wherein the burst length corresponds to a number of sequentially decreasing or increasing an address of the codeword.
