    Abstract: Provided are a memory controller calculating an optimal read level, a memory system including the memory controller, and an operating method of the memory controller. The memory controller includes: a processor configured to control a memory operation on the memory device; and a read level calculation module configured to: receive N counting values corresponding to N read levels generated based on a counting operation on data read by using a plurality of read levels, model at least two cell count functions having selected read levels that are selected from the N read levels as inputs, and the N counting values corresponding to the selected read levels as outputs, and calculate an optimal read level based on an optimal cell count function selected from the at least two cell count functions, wherein N is an integer equal to or greater than four, wherein the N counting values include counting values corresponding to at least four different read levels.

    Abstract: Disclosed is a storage device which includes an interface circuit that exchanges data with a host device, and a power management unit that supplies a power to the interface circuit. The interface circuit includes a first input terminal receiving a first signal from the host device, a second input terminal receiving a second signal complementary to the first signal from the host device, a receive module processing the first signal and the second signal, a squelch circuit detecting levels of the first signal and the second signal, and a reference clock detector detecting whether a reference clock for operating the storage device is received. The power management unit selectively supplies a power to the squelch circuit based on a result of the detection by the reference clock detector.

    Abstract: Channel selection information indicate positions of data bits of input data, positions of error correction code (ECC) parity bits for correcting errors in the input data, and positions of state shaping parity bits. The ECC parity bits and the state shaping parity bits are generated to cause a decrease in a quantity of memory cells, of the plurality of memory cells, in which at least one target state among a plurality of states is programmed. An alignment vector is generated based on aligning the data bits of the input data, the ECC parity bits, and the state shaping parity bits, based on the channel selection information. A codeword is generated based on simultaneously performing state shaping and ECC encoding with respect to the alignment vector. Write data are written in the nonvolatile memory device based on the codeword.
