    摘要: A method for data storage includes performing an erasure operation on a group of analog memory cells (32). One or more of the memory cells in the group, which failed the erasure operation, are identified as erase-failed cells. A storage configuration that is used for programming the analog memory cells in the group is modified responsively to the identified erase-failed cells. Data is stored in the group of the analog memory cells using the modified storage configuration.

    摘要: A method for data storage in analog memory cells includes defining multiple programming states for storing data in the analog memory cells. The programming states represent respective combinations of more than one bit and correspond to respective, different levels of a physical quantity stored in the memory cells. The data is stored in the memory cells by applying to the memory cells programming pulses that cause the levels of the physical quantity stored in the memory cells to transition between the programming states, such that a given transition is caused by only a single programming pulse.

    摘要: A method for data storage includes storing first data in analog memory cells using a first programming operation, which writes to the memory cells respective analog values representing respective bit values of the first data. Second data is stored in the analog memory cells in addition to the first data using a second programming operation, which modifies the respective analog values of the memory cells so as to represent bit value combinations of the first and second data. The first and second programming operations are defined such that, at all times during the second programming operation, the analog value of each memory cell remains unambiguously indicative of the respective bit value of the first data stored in that memory cell.
