摘要： A method for data storage includes, in a first programming phase, storing first data in a group of analog memory cells by programming the memory cells in the group to a set of initial programming levels. In a second programming phase that is subsequent to the first programming phase, second data is stored in the group by: identifying the memory cells in the group that were programmed in the first programming phase to respective levels in a predefined partial subset of the initial programming levels; and programming only the identified memory cells with the second data, so as to set at least some of the identified memory cells to one or more additional programming levels that are different from the initial programming levels.

摘要： A method for data storage includes accepting data for storage in a memory that includes multiple analog memory cells. The data is stored in a first group of the memory cells by programming a second group of the memory cells so as to cause the second group to generate interference in the first group, and individually erasing the first group while verifying that analog levels of the memory cells in the first group subject to the interference are within a predefined bound following erasure. After erasing the first group, the first group of the memory cells is programmed with the data.

摘要： A method for data storage includes providing at least first and second readout configurations for reading storage values from analog memory cells, such that the first readout configuration reads the storage values with a first sense time and the second readout configuration reads the storage values with a second sense time, shorter than the first sense time. A condition is evaluated with respect to a read operation that is to be performed over a group of the memory cells. One of the first and second readout configurations is selected responsively to the evaluated condition. The storage values are read from the group of the memory cells using the selected readout configuration.

摘要： A data storage method includes, in a memory controller that accepts memory access commands from a host for execution in one or more memory units, holding a definition of a policy to be applied by the memory controller in the execution of the memory access commands in the memory units. The policy is reported from the memory controller to the host so as to cause the host to format memory access commands based on the reported policy.

摘要： A method for data storage includes storing data in a group of analog memory cells by writing respective storage values into the memory cells in the group. One or more of the memory cells in the group are read using a first readout operation that senses the memory cells with a first sense time. At least one of the memory cells in the group is read using a second readout operation that senses the memory cells with a second sense time, longer than the first sense time. The data stored in the group of memory cells is reconstructed based on readout results of the first and second readout operations.

摘要： A data storage method includes identifying, in a set of data items associated with respective logical addresses for storage in a memory, a first subset of the logical addresses associated with the data items containing application data, and a second subset of the logical addresses associated with the data items containing parity information that has been calculated over the application data. The data items associated with the first identified subset are stored in one or more first physical memory areas of the memory, and the data items associated with the second identified subset are stored in one or more second physical memory areas of the memory, different from the first physical memory areas. A memory management task is performed independently in the first physical memory areas and in the second physical memory areas.
