  • Patent number: 7328302
    Abstract: Device for treating a memory state resulting from incomplete writing or erasing of data. The memory includes memory cells organized in a plurality of pages each having generation information indicating a programming time of the page. A unit determines generation information from the generation information of the plurality of pages to obtain determined generation information indicating a programming time which is not the oldest programming time. A page determination unit determines a page including an inconsistency from the plurality of pages to obtain a determined page. A selection unit selects a further page, a marking unit marks the further page to obtain a marked page, and a providing unit provides new generation information based on the determined generation information. A reading unit reads data from the marked page and a writing unit writes the data read from the marked page and the new generation information to the determined page.
