Systems and methods for improving error distributions in multi-level cell memory systems

摘要

A state set module arranges states of a memory cell in a first and a second sequence in a first and a second state set, respectively. The memory cell stores first and second bits when programmed to a state. When the states in the first and second state sets are accessed respectively in the first and the second sequence, the first and second bits of the states in the first and second state sets exhibit different number of logical transitions. A write module receives first and second sets of bits to be written as the first and second bits in a plurality of memory cells, and selects states from the first and second state sets in an alternating pattern to write the first and second sets of bits as the first and second bits in the plurality of memory cells.
