1. A storage device comprising:
- a memory device including a memory cell array and a page buffer group coupled to the memory cell array; and
a memory controller configured to store a plurality of cache data chunks to be sequentially programmed, and, configured to input a next cache data chunk corresponding to a next program sequence to the page buffer group when programming Least Significant Bit (LSB) data of a current cache data chunk among the plurality of cache data chunks is completed.

Abstract
A storage device includes a memory device including a memory cell array and a page buffer group coupled to the memory cell array, and a memory controller configured to store a plurality of cache data chunks to be sequentially programmed, and configured to input a next cache data chunk corresponding to a next program sequence to the page buffer group, when programming of Least Significant Bit (LSB) data of a cache data chunk among the plurality of cache data chunks is completed.

7. A storage device comprising:
-
a memory device including a memory cell array and a page buffer group coupled to the memory cell array; and a memory controller including a write buffer and a write buffer controller, wherein the write buffer is configured to store a plurality of cache data chunks to be sequentially programmed, and wherein the write buffer controller is configured to delete the previous cache data chunk from the write buffer when programming of a previous cache data chunk previously input to the page buffer group to the memory cell array has been completed while the plurality of cache data chunks are being input to the page buffer group. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13)

14. A method for operating a storage device, the storage device comprising a memory device including a memory cell array and a page buffer group coupled to the memory cell array and a memory controller including a write buffer, the method comprising:
-
storing host data as a plurality of cache data chunks in the write buffer; programming any one of the plurality of cache data chunks to the memory cell array while the plurality of cache data chunks are being sequentially input to the page buffer group; and inputting a next cache data chunk corresponding to a next program sequence to the page buffer group when programming LSB data of a current cache data chunk has been completed. - View Dependent Claims (15, 16, 17, 18, 19, 20)
