MEMORY DEVICES AND METHODS OF STORING DATA ON A MEMORY DEVICE

摘要

Apparatus and methods are disclosed, such as those involving a flash memory device. One such apparatus includes a memory block (510) including a plurality of memory cells; and a data randomizer (540) configured to randomly or pseudo-randomly change original data to be stored in the memory block (510) to changed data. The original data is changed such that a pattern of data as stored in the memory block (510) is different than what it would have been if the original data had been stored in the memory block (510) during a write operation. This configuration can reduce or eliminate data pattern-dependent errors in data digits stored in memory cells.
