Abstract:
A method of operating a memory controller includes classifying a plurality of memory cells in an erase state into a plurality of groups, based on erase state information about the plurality of memory cells in the erase state; setting at least one target program state for at least some memory cells from among memory cells included in at least one of the plurality of groups; and programming the at least some memory cells for which the at least one target program state has been set, to a program state other than the at least one target program state from among the plurality of program states.

Claim (Index 10):
A memory controller for controlling a memory operation on a memory cell array including a plurality of memory cells, the memory controller comprising:\n an erase information collector configured to receive erase state information about the plurality of memory cells from the memory cell array, classify the plurality of memory cells into a first group and a second group based on the erase state information, and output first information about the first group and second information about the second group; and an erase state control encoder configured to receive the first information and the second information from the erase information collector, set at least one target program state from among a plurality of program states, encoding data to be programmed to memory cells included in the first group based on the first information and the at least one target program state, and encode data to be programmed to memory cells included in the second group based on the second information.
