  • Publication number: 20140355348
    Abstract: Provided are a flash memory system and a word line interleaving method thereof. The flash memory system includes a memory cell array, and a word line interleaving logic. The memory cell array is connected to a plurality of word lines. The word line (WL) interleaving logic performs an interleaving operation on WL data corresponding to at least two different wordlines and programming data, including the interleaved data, to the memory cell array.

  • Patent number: 8751900
    Abstract: A storage device includes a non-volatile memory device outputting read data from a source area and a memory controller configured to execute an ECC operation on a plurality of vectors in the read data and to write the error-corrected read data into target area of the non-volatile memory device. The memory controller declares that a vector corresponding to a clean area is decoding pass without using a flag bit among the plurality of vectors during the error correction operation.

  • Publication number: 20130326296
    Abstract: A data processing method is provided for processing data read from a nonvolatile memory. The data processing method includes receiving first bit data from the nonvolatile memory at a memory controller, and performing erasure decoding based on the first bit data and second bit data stored in the memory controller. The first bit data indicates a memory cell that is erasure, and the second bit data is read using a read voltage during previous error correction decoding.

  • Publication number: 20130326314
    Abstract: A storage device comprises a nonvolatile memory device comprising a plurality of memory cells, and an error correction circuit configured to receive primary data and secondary data from the nonvolatile memory device and to perform a hard decision decoding operation on the primary data and further configured to perform a soft decision decoding operation on the primary data based on the secondary data. The primary data is read from the plurality of memory cells in a hard decision read operation and the secondary data is read from memory cells programmed to a specific state from among the primary data.
