ABSTRACT:
A memory controller is provided which is connected to a nonvolatile memory (e.g., a NAND flash memory) and a volatile memory (e.g., a DRAM or SDRAM), where the memory controller controls an access to the nonvolatile memory and the volatile memory in response to a memory request, and includes a memory for storing address information of data stored in the volatile memory, and where the memory controller determines whether address information inputted at the memory request is identical to address information of the memory, and selectively accesses the nonvolatile memory according to the determined result.
