Abstract
A memory controller according to example embodiments of the inventive concept includes a system bus, a first direct memory access (DMA) engine configured to write data in a buffer memory through the system bus, a snooper configured to output notification information indicating whether the data is stored in the buffer memory by snooping around the system bus, and a second direct memory access (DMA) engine configured to transmit the data written in the buffer memory to a host in response to the notification information from the snooper.
