Abstract

A memory apparatus having a volatile memory for storing data from a host, a nonvolatile memory capable of storing the data stored in the volatile memory, and electrically deleting the data, and a control circuit for controlling data transfer between the volatile memory and the nonvolatile memory. A capacity of a data storage area of the volatile memory is larger than that of a data storage area of the nonvolatile memory.
