Abstract

Embodiments of the present disclosure relate to a memory system, a memory controller, and an operation method of a memory system. According to embodiments of the present disclosure, the memory system, before updating a mapping table which includes mapping information between logical addresses and physical addresses, may assign a portion of a map cache area for caching a plurality of map segments in the mapping table as a map update area for updating the mapping table, and may load a subset of the plurality of map segments to the map update area. Accordingly, it is possible to quickly update a mapping table and to optimize update performance for a mapping table within a limit that guarantees caching performance to a predetermined level or higher.
