MEMORY CONFIGURATION AND METHOD FOR CALIBRATING READ/WRITE DATA BASED ON PERFORMANCE CHARACTERISTICS OF THE MEMORY CONFIGURATION

摘要

A method and system for storing and retrieving data using flash memory devices (104) One example system includes an apparatus within a flash memory configuration The flash memory configuration includes a plurality of memory cells (118), where each memory cell has a charge storage capacity for use in implementing digital storage The apparatus includes a processing arrangement configured to access each of the memory cells (118) in a write operation and a read operation The apparatus also includes an instruction set for instructing the processor to impose target charge levels for defining a plurality of data values for each of the memory cells (118) The target charge levels are programmably movable with respect to the charge storage capacity.
