Abstract

The write reliability of a nonvolatile memory is improved by performing accurate verification of write data. In a memory controller of an information processing system, a determination unit determines whether a state of a memory cell after writing data is stable in a nonvolatile memory including the memory cell having an unstable state period after writing data. A verification unit performs verification by comparing read data which is read from the memory cell where the data is written on the basis of a result of the determination, with write data involved in the writing. A write control unit performs writing of the data and rewriting of the write data based on a result of the verification.
