摘要： A method for data storage includes assigning in a memory that includes one or more storage devices a first storage area for storage of user data, and a second storage area, which is separate from the first storage area, for storage of redundancy information related to the user data. Input data is processed to produce redundancy data, and the input data is stored in the first storage area using at least one first write command. The redundancy data is stored in the second storage area using at least one second write command, separate from the first write command.

摘要： A method for operating a memory (28) that includes a plurality of analog memory cells (32) includes storing data in the memory by writing first storage values to the cells. Second storage values are read from the cells, and a Cumulative Distribution Function (CDF) of the second storage values is estimated. The estimated CDF is processed so as to compute one or more thresholds. A memory access operation is performed on the cells using the one or more thresholds.

摘要： A method for data storage includes predefining an order of programming a plurality of analog memory cells that are arranged in rows. The order specifies that for a given row having neighboring rows on first and second sides, the memory cells in the given row are programmed only while the memory cells in the neighboring rows on at least one of the sides are in an erased state, and that the memory cells in the given row are programmed to assume a highest programming level, which corresponds to a largest analog value among the programming levels of the cells, only after programming all the memory cells in the given row to assume the programming levels other than the highest level. Data is stored in the memory cells by programming the memory cells in accordance with the predefined order.

摘要： A method includes storing data in a group of analog memory cells by writing first storage values to the cells. After storing the data, second storage values are read from the cells using one or more first read thresholds. Third storage values that potentially cause cross-coupling interference in the second storage values are identified, and the third storage values are processed, to identify a subset of the second storage values as severely-interfered values. Fourth storage values are selectively re-read from the cells holding the severely-interfered values using one or more second read thresholds, different from the first read thresholds. The cross-coupling interference in the severely-interfered storage values is canceled using the re-read fourth storage values. The second storage values, including the severely-interfered values in which the cross-coupling interference has been canceled, are processed so as to reconstruct the data stored in the cell group.

摘要： A method for data storage includes storing data in a group of analog memory cells by writing into the memory cells in the group respective storage values, which program each of the analog memory cells to a respective programming state selected from a predefined set of programming states. The programming states include at least first and second programming states, which are applied respectively to first and second subsets of the memory cells, whereby the storage values held in the memory cells in the first and second subsets are distributed in accordance with respective first and second distributions. Respective first and second medians of the first and second distributions are estimated, and a read threshold is calculated based on the first and second medians. The data is retrieved from the analog memory cells in the group by reading the storage values using the calculated read threshold.
