Abstract
An operating method of a controller includes iterating a first ECC decoding on a codeword read from a semiconductor memory device according to a first read voltage a predetermined iteration number until the first ECC decoding succeeds, wherein a value of the first read voltage is updated on basis of a number of an unsatisfied syndrome check (USC); and when the first ECC decoding fails until the predetermined iteration number, performing a second ECC decoding on the codeword by generating soft decision data according to the first read voltage, a value of which corresponds to the minimum number of the USC among the updated values during the iterating of the first ECC decoding.
