  • Memory apparatus and methods thereof for preventing read errors on weak pages in a non-volatile memory system
    Patent number: 9582417
    Abstract: A memory apparatus and methods are provided for preventing read errors on weak pages in a non-volatile memory system. In one example, a method includes identifying a weak page in a non-volatile memory device along a word line, wherein the weak page is partially written with at least some data; buffering data associated with the weak page to a weak page buffer that is coupled in communication with the non-volatile memory device; determining that an amount of data in the weak page buffer has reached a predetermined data level; and writing the data from the weak page buffer into the weak page along the word line in the non-volatile memory device.
