A circuitry is provided that includes a memory including a plurality of memory cells, wherein at least one of the plurality of memory cells of the memory is configured to take on one of at least three different states. The circuitry also includes a first subcircuit BT configured to generate a plurality of ternary output values based on a sequence of binary values, a second subcircuit LH configured to transform one or more ternary state values into binary auxiliary read values based on the one or more state values, and an encoder configured to generate one or more binary check bits, wherein the encoder is configured to store each of the generated one or more check bits in a different memory cell.
