Abstract
A method of operating a memory controller includes; receiving hard decision data and first soft decision data from a non-volatile memory device, performing a first ECC decoding operation using the hard decision data and the first soft decision data: and then determining a second soft decision read voltage or reclaim operation of the non-volatile memory device based on the number of iteration operation of the first ECC (error correction code).
