Abstract
An apparatus for memory control includes a data storage area configured to store data indicative of a distribution of total current consumption required for a write operation as measured with respect to one or more nonvolatile memory devices of a first type, and a control apparatus configured to evaluate, based on the data indicative of the distribution, a degree to which a total amount of current consumption required for a write operation with respect to a memory area in a nonvolatile memory device of the same first type, regarding a current flowing from a power supply to the nonvolatile memory device during the write operation, is deviated toward larger total current consumptions in the distribution, thereby determining whether the memory area is satisfactory.
