A memory system includes a memory device and a memory controller. The memory device includes a plurality of memory cells. The memory controller is configured to continuously perform a plurality of write commands on the memory device between an active command and a precharge command. In the memory system, when after a first write operation having a last write command of the plurality of write commands is performed and then the precharge command is issued, the last write command is issued for a second write operation after the precharge command. The first write operation and the second write operation write a same data to memory cells of plurality of memory cells having a same address.
