RECONFIGURING STORAGE MODES IN A MEMORY

摘要

A memory which is capable of reconfiguration between a first mode in which each storage cell is capable of storing a pair of data bits and a second mode in which each storage cell is capable of storing a single data. A memory according to the present teachings includes a storage cell having a first structure and a second structure each capable of a storage state and mechanisms for reconfiguring the memory between a first mode in which the storage states of the first and second structures indicate a first and a second data bit, respectively, and a second mode in which the storage states combine to indicate a data bit.
