  • Methods of operating a memory with redistribution of received data
    Patent number: 10636482
    Abstract: Methods of operating a memory include receiving a plurality of digits of data for programming to a plurality of memory cells of the memory, redistributing the received plurality of digits of data in a reversible manner to generate a plurality of digits of redistributed data each corresponding to a respective memory cell of the plurality of memory cells, and for each memory cell of the plurality of memory cells, programming the corresponding digit of redistributed data for that memory cell to a first digit position of a respective data state of that memory cell, programming a second digit of data having a first data value to a second digit position of the respective data state of that memory cell, and programming a third digit of data having a second data value to a third digit position of the respective data state of that memory cell.

  • Methods of operating a memory with redistribution of received data
    Patent number: 10283195
    Abstract: Methods of operating a memory include receiving data for programming to a plurality of memory cells of the memory, redistributing the received data in a reversible manner, programming the redistributed data to the plurality of memory cells, and programming respective second data to each memory cell of the plurality of memory cells containing the redistributed data, wherein the respective second data for any memory cell of the plurality of memory cells has a same data value as the respective second data for each remaining memory cell of the plurality of memory cells.

  • Data storage with data randomizer in multiple operating modes
    Patent number: 10014051
    Abstract: Methods of operating a memory include programming a particular portion of a data state to a memory cell with a data randomizer in a first operating mode, and programming a remaining portion of the data state to the memory cell with the data randomizer in a second operating mode different than the first operating mode.
