Mapping information managing apparatus and method for non-volatile memory supporting different cell types

摘要

The present invention relates to a mapping information managing apparatus and method for a non-volatile memory supporting different cell types, and more particularly, to a mapping information managing apparatus and method for a non-volatile memory supporting different cell types capable of managing mapping information considering physical characteristics of each cell type in the non-volatile memory supporting different cell types in which bits represented by one cell are different from each other. A mapping information managing apparatus for a non-volatile memory supporting different cell types includes: a user request unit used for a user to request a predetermined operation by using a logical address; a non-volatile memory comprising a plurality of memory areas having different cell types; and a mapping information managing unit storing mapping information on user data written to a second memory area of the plurality of memory areas in a first memory area.
