Memory system and operating method thereof

Abstract

There are provided a memory system and an operating method thereof. A memory system includes: a semiconductor memory device for including a plurality of semiconductor memories, and operating in response to a plurality of internal commands received thereto; and a controller for generating and queuing the plurality of internal commands in response to a plurality of commands received from a host, and generating and storing a master bitmap including information on unperformed operations that are not performed in the semiconductor memory device for internal commands among the plurality of queued internal commands. The controller generates a flush bitmap corresponding to a flush command, using a current master bitmap, when the flush command is received from the host, and clears the flush bitmap if the semiconductor memory device completes the unperformed operations.
