Abstract
A memory controller may control a resistive memory device including memory cells may control the resistive memory device to program the memory cells into a first resistance state, control the resistive memory device to read data from the memory cells that are programmed, receive bit error rates (BER) of the memory cells, occurring in a read operation, from the resistive memory device, may determine the number of program operations on the memory cells corresponding to the BER and may, based on the number of program operations that is determined, control the memory cells to be programmed into the first resistance state by using a write current having a current level higher than that of a minimum write current required for the memory cells to be changed into the first resistance state.
