Abstract:
Method and apparatus for managing data in a memory, such as a flash memory array. In accordance with some embodiments, data are written to a set of solid-state non-volatile memory cells so that each memory cell in the set is written to an associated initial programmed state. Drift in the programmed state of a selected memory cell in the set is detected, and the selected memory cell is partially reprogrammed to return the selected memory cell to the associated initial programmed state.
