    Abstract: Methods, devices, modules, and systems for programming memory cells can include storing charges corresponding to a data state that represents an integer number of bits in a set of memory cells. Programming memory cells can include storing a charge in a cell of the set, where the charge corresponds to a programmed state, where the programmed state represents a fractional number of bits, and where the programmed state denotes a digit of the data state as expressed by a number in base N, where N is equal to 2B, rounded up to an integer, and where B is equal to the fractional number of bits represented by the programmed state.

    Abstract: The present disclosure includes methods, devices, and systems for dealing with threshold voltage change in memory devices. A number of embodiments include an array of memory cells and control circuitry having sense circuitry coupled to the array. The control circuitry is configured to determine changes in threshold voltages (Vts) associated with the memory cells without using a reference cell, and adjust the sense circuitry based on the determined changes and without using a reference cell.

    Abstract: Apparatus and methods store error recovery data in different dimensions of a memory array. For example, in one dimension, block error correction codes (ECC) are used, and in another dimension, supplemental error correction codes, such as convolutional codes, are used. By using separate dimensions, the likelihood that a defect affects both error recovery techniques is lessened, thereby increasing the probability that error recovery can be performed successfully. In one example, block error correction codes are used for data stored along rows, and this data is stored in one level of multiple-level cells of the array. Supplemental error correction codes are used for data stored along columns, such as along the cells of a string, and the supplemental error correction codes are stored in a different level than the error correction codes.

    Abstract: A memory device has a plurality of individually erasable blocks of memory cells and a controller configured to configure a first block of the plurality of blocks of memory cells in a first configuration comprising one or more groups of overhead data memory cells, to configure a second block of the plurality of blocks of memory cells in a second configuration comprising a group of user data memory cells and a group of overhead data memory cells, and to configure a third block of the plurality of blocks of memory cells in a third configuration comprising only a group of user data memory cells. The group of overhead data memory cells of the second block of memory cells has a different storage capacity than at least one group of overhead data memory cells of the one or more groups of overhead data memory cells of the first block.
