Abstract

A memory controller configured to control a memory device including a plurality of banks. The memory controller may determine whether a number of write commands enqueued in a command queue of the memory controller exceeds a reference value, calculate a level of write power to be consumed by the memory device in response to at least some of the write commands from among the enqueued write commands when the number of enqueued write commands exceeds the reference value, and schedule, based on the calculated level of write power, interleaving commands executing an interleaving operation of the memory device, from among the enqueued write commands.
