Abstract:
A memory controller includes a mapping data controller configured to generate extended mapping data including mapping information and an additional field in response to an extended mapping data request received from a host and to generate data generation information indicating that the extended mapping data has been generated, wherein the mapping information indicates a mapping relationship between a logical block address and a physical block address and a bitmap information generator configured to receive the data generation information and generate bitmap information. The bitmap information may include information for changing a bit value corresponding to a mapping data group including the extended mapping data, among bit values included in a bitmap, to indicate the extended mapping data, and the mapping data group may include a plurality of pieces of mapping data.
