    Abstract: A method of operating a memory storing data sets, and ECCs for the data sets is provided. The method includes when writing new data in a data set, computing and storing an ECC, if a number of addressable segments storing the new data and data previously programmed in the data set includes at least a predetermined number of addressable segments. The method includes storing indications for whether to enable or disable use of the ECCs, using the ECC and a first additional ECC bit derived from the ECC. The method includes reading from a data set an extended ECC including an ECC and a first additional ECC bit derived from the ECC, and enabling or disabling use of the ECC according to the indications stored for the data set. The method includes enabling use of ECCs for blank data sets, using the indications and a second additional ECC bit.

    Abstract: A method of operating a memory device storing ECCs for corresponding data is provided. The method includes writing an extended ECC during a first program operation, the extended ECC including an ECC and an extended bit derived from the ECC. The method includes overwriting the extended ECC with a pre-determined state during a second program operation to indicate the second program operation. The method includes, setting the ECC to an initial ECC state before the first program operation; during the first program operation, computing the ECC, changing the ECC to the initial ECC state if the computed ECC equals the pre-determined state; and changing the extended bit to an initial value if the ECC equals the initial ECC state. The method includes reading an extended ECC including an extended bit and an ECC for corresponding data, and determining whether to enable ECC logic using the extended ECC.

    Abstract: Various aspects of a nonvolatile memory have an improved erase suspend procedure. A bias arrangement is applied to word lines of an erase sector undergoing an erase procedure interrupted by an erase suspend procedure. As a result, another operation performed during erase suspend, such as a read operation or program operation, has more accurate results due to decreased leakage current from any over-erased nonvolatile memory cells of the erase sector.

    Abstract: A program method for a multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory is provided. The memory array includes a plurality of pages and a plurality of paired pages, which correspond to the respective pages. The program method includes the following steps. Firstly, a program address command is obtained. Next, whether the program address command corresponding to any one of the paired pages is determined. When the program address command corresponds to a first paired page, which corresponds to a first page among the pages, among the paired pages, data stored in the first page to a non-volatile memory are copied. After that, the first paired page is programmed.
