摘要： A method for storing data in an array (28) of analog memory cells (32) includes defining a constellation of voltage levels (90A, 90B, 90C, 90D) to be used in storing the data. A part of the data is written to a first analog memory cell in the array by applying to the analog memory cell a first voltage level selected from the constellation. After writing the part of the data to the first analog memory cell, a second voltage level that does not belong to the constellation is read from the first analog memory cell. A modification to be made in writing to one or more of the analog memory cells in the array is determined responsively to the second voltage level, and data are written to the one or more of the analog memory cells subject to the modification.

摘要： A method for operating a memory (28) includes storing data in a group of analog memory cells (32) of the memory as respective first voltage levels. After storing the data, second voltage levels are read from the respective analog memory cells. The second voltage levels are affected by cross-coupling interference causing the second voltage levels to differ from the respective first voltage levels. Cross-coupling coefficients, which quantify the cross-coupling interference among the analog memory cells, are estimated by processing the second voltage levels. The data stored in the group of analog memory cells is reconstructed from the read second voltage levels using the estimated cross-coupling coefficients.

摘要： A symbol detector provides a delay-less estimate of a transmitted symbol. The symbol detector includes a symbol input for receiving a sequence of input symbols, a plurality of accumulators (ACC) for storing trellis state costs, a plurality of adders (202) for summing the square of distances between an input symbol and a constellation symbol for a trellis branch with the trellis state costs, and a plurality of comparators (203) connected to the adders for determining minimum costs and providing those costs to the accumulators. A memory (201) is connected to an associated comparator for storing the minimum cost determined the associated comparator. A minimization unit (204) outputs an index value of comparators with the lowest value, and a branch table unit (205) outputs a delay-less estimate of a transmitted symbol based on the index of the trellis branch with lowest cost that enters the trellis state with lowest cost and an input symbol.

摘要： A method for data storage includes encoding data with an inter-device Error Correction Code (ECC), and sending the encoded data for storage on two or more storage devices. The data to be stored on each of the storage devices, and which has been encoded with the inter-device ECC, is encoded with an intra-device ECC, and the data encoded with the inter-device and intra-device ECCs is stored on the storage device. After storing the data, at least part of the stored data is retrieved and output by decoding the intra-device and inter-device ECCs, while using information related to one of the intra-device and inter-device ECCs in decoding the other of the intra-device and inter-device ECCs.
