Abstract

A memory apparatus and an operation of the memory apparatus which allow quick booting are provided. The memory apparatus includes a volatile memory, a non-volatile memory, and a memory control unit to control input/output of data stored in the volatile memory and the non-volatile memory. The memory control unit restores data, according to a control command input from outside of the memory apparatus, from the non-volatile memory to the volatile memory in an on-demand fashion during booting.
