Abstract
A memory system may include a memory device including a first memory block group and a second memory block group; and a memory controller configured to designate a first memory block of memory blocks included in the first memory block group as an open block and designate a second memory block of memory blocks included in the second memory block group as the open block, and perform a program operation on the first and second memory blocks designated as the open blocks. When the first memory block designated as the open block is changed to a closed block, the memory controller may determine whether to designate a third memory block among the memory blocks included in the first or the second memory block group as a new open block based on a number of times voltage abnormalities have occurred on a voltage supplied to the memory device.
