    Abstract: A method of operating a memory device includes receiving a read command at command/control logic (240) that is internal to a memory device (200) from an external controller (135) that is external to the memory device; receiving a first address for a used location in a flash array (205) at an address latch (265) from the external controller after receiving the read command at the command/control logic, where the flash array and the address latch are internal to the memory device; reading data from the used location to an internal latch (210) that is internal to the memory device in response to receiving the read command and the first address; indicating to the external controller that reading the data from the used location to the internal latch is ended; receiving a write command from the external controller at the command/control logic after indicating to the external controller that reading the data from the used location to the internal latch is ended; receiving a second address for an unused location in the flash array from the external controller at the address latch after receiving the write command at the command/control logic; and writing the data from the internal latch to the unused location in response to receiving the write command and the second address.

    Abstract: Computer processor hardware receives notification that data stored in a region of storage cells in a non-volatile memory system stores invalid data. In response to the notification, the computer processor hardware marks the region as storing invalid data. The computer processor hardware controls the magnitude of erase dwell time (i.e., the amount of time that one or more cells are set to an erased state) associated with overwriting of the invalid data in the storage cells with replacement data. For example, to re-program respective storage cells, the data manager must erase the storage cells and then program the storage cells with replacement data. The data management logic can control the erase dwell time to be less than a threshold time value to enhance a life of the non-volatile memory system.

    Abstract: To store, successively, in a plurality of memory cells, first and second pluralities of input bits that are equal in number, a first transformation transforms the first input bits into a first plurality of transformed bits. A first portion of the cells is programmed to store the first transformed bits according to a mapping of bit sequences to cell levels, but, if the first transformation has a variable output length, only if there are few enough first transformed bits to fit in the first cell portion. Then, without erasing a second cell portion that includes the first portion, if respective levels of the cells of the second portion, that represent a second plurality of transformed bits obtained by a second transformation of the second input bits, according to the mapping, are accessible from the current cell levels, the second portion is so programmed to store the second transformed bits.
