Abstract
The memory system includes a flash memory and a memory controller. The flash memory has at least two addresses with different program times. The memory controller is configured to control the flash memory. The memory controller is configured to assign an address corresponding to a shorter program time from among the at least two addresses for a write operation executed at interruption of a power supply to the flash memory. The assigned address is used to store data of the memory controller in the flash memory.
