System and method for data recovery in multi-level cell memories

摘要

A system and method are provided for data recovery in a multi-level cell memory device. One or more bits may be programmed sequentially in one or more respective levels of multi-level cells in the memory device. An interruption of programming a subsequent bit in a subsequent second or greater level of the multi-level cells may be detected. Data may be recovered from the multi-level cells defining the one or more bits programmed preceding the programming interruption of the second or greater level.
