Abstract

A memory controller includes a control circuit. The control circuit configures a plurality of physical blocks in a flash memory into a group. The control circuit allocates the plurality of physical blocks constituting the group to a data block and a redundant block. The control circuit writes data required to be saved into the data block. The control circuit writes redundant data based on the data required to be saved into the redundant block belonging to the same group as the data block. When all the data required to be saved are successfully written into the data block, the control circuit releases from the group at least one redundant block belonging to the same group as the data block.
