MEMORY MANAGEMENT IN A NON-VOLATILE SOLID STATE MEMORY DEVICE

摘要

A non-volatile solid state memory device and method for balancing write/erase cycles among blocks to level block usage. The non-volatile solid state memory device includes a memory unit having data stored therein and a controller with logic for programming the memory unit according to a monitored occurrence of an error during a read operation. The method includes monitoring an occurrence of an error during a read operation in a memory unit of the device and programming the memory unit according to the monitored occurrence of the error.
