Abstract
A bank interleaving controller may include a power calculator and a write driver. The power calculator may calculate a total power consumption by adding a power consumption of one or more memory banks that are performing write operations and an amount of power that is expected to be additionally consumed to write input data. The write driver may write the input data to a memory cell corresponding to an input address when the total power consumption is equal to or less than a reference power consumption.
