Abstract

A controller includes control pins, a buffer memory, an error correction circuit, and a processor driving a read level search unit for a read operation of at least one non-volatile memory device, in which the read level search unit receives fail bit information of a sector error-corrected in the first page from the at least one non-volatile memory device when the error correction of the first read data is not possible, and searches for an optimal read level or set a soft decision offset using the fail bit information.
