Abstract

Provided herein is a memory controller and a method of operating the same. The memory controller may include a program erase counter configured to count a number of program and erase operations performed on the memory device and then generate a current program/erase count value, an error correction counter configured to count a number of error corrections for correcting error in an operation performed on the memory device and then generate a current error correction count value and a power consumption predictor configured to, predict a future program/erase count value based on the current program/erase count value, predict future power consumption of a storage device including the memory device and the memory controller, the future power consumption corresponding to the predicted program/erase count value and output information about the predicted power consumption to a host.
