Abstract

A memory system includes a nonvolatile memory device and a memory controller. The nonvolatile memory device includes first memory blocks configured to store m-bit data per cell and second memory blocks configured to store n-bit data per cell. The memory controller is configured to control the nonvolatile memory device to close an open word line generated in a second memory block of the second memory blocks when a program operation is performed on the second memory block.
