<P>PROBLEM TO BE SOLVED: To provide a memory controller capable of efficiently using a semiconductor memory. <P>SOLUTION: A memory controller 20 according to an embodiment comprises: a first interface 21; a second interface 23; and a control part 24. The first interface 21 transmits and receives a signal to/from a host 10. The second interface 23 transmits and receives a signal to/from a nonvolatile semiconductor memory 30. The control part 24 reserves a spare area in the semiconductor memory 30 in response to a first command that is received by the first interface 21; and writes, when data held in the semiconductor memory 30 is updated, the updated data to the spare area. The size of the spare area varies according to the first command. <P>COPYRIGHT: (C)2013,JPO&INPIT |
