Memory controller and memory system performing wear-leveling

Abstract

In certain aspects, a memory system includes a non-volatile memory device and a memory controller coupled to the non-volatile memory device. The non-volatile memory device includes a plurality of memory groups. Each of the memory groups includes a plurality of memory units. The memory controller is configured to perform at least one of a first wear-leveling process by swapping a first memory group of the memory groups and a second memory group of the memory groups based on a first group write count for the first memory group and a second group write count for the second memory group, or a second wear-leveling process by swapping a first memory unit of the memory units and a second memory unit of the memory units based on a first unit write count for the first memory unit and a second unit write count for the second memory unit.
