    Abstract: A first data set is written to first memory units identified as having a higher data reliability and a second data set is written to second memory units identified as having a lower data reliability than the first memory units. In some cases, the second data set may include metadata or redundancy information that is useful to aid in reading and/or decoding the first data set. The act of writing the second data set increases the data reliability of the first data set. The second data set may be a null pattern, such as all erased bits.

    Abstract: A memory controller identifies a predominant type of error of a memory unit of solid state memory cells. An error type differential is calculated. The error type differential is a difference between a number of charge loss errors and a number of charge gain errors of the memory unit. A VT offset error differential is calculated. The VT offset error differential is a difference between a number of errors of the predominant type at a first VT offset and a number of errors of the predominant type at a second VT offset. A VT offset is determined using a ratio of the error type differential and the VT offset error differential.

    Abstract: Method and apparatus for managing data in a memory, such as a flash memory array. In accordance with some embodiments, a memory cell is provided with a plurality of available programming states to accommodate multi-level cell (MLC) programming. A control circuit stores a single bit logical value to the memory cell using single level cell (SLC) programming to provide a first read margin between first and second available programming states. The control circuit subsequently stores a single bit logical value to the memory cell using virtual multi-level cell (VMLC) programming to provide a larger, second read margin between the first available programming state and a third available programming state.
