During data backup, the DDR controller (101) reads N-bit DQi and 1-bit DBI from the DRAM (201) and sends the same to the data backup module (103). When DBIi is “1”, the data backup module (103) compares the DQi and DQi-1. If the number of bits of the DQi and the DQi-1 with different values is greater than N/2, then the DQi is inverted and the DBIi is set to “0”, and otherwise the DQi and the DBIi are remained unchanged. When the DBIi is “0”, the DQi and the DBIi are remained unchanged.
