Abstract
A device includes a non-volatile memory and a controller coupled to the non-volatile memory. The non-volatile memory includes a plurality of blocks and each block of the plurality of blocks includes a plurality of word lines. The controller is configured to receive data read from a word line of a block of the non-volatile memory and to determine an error indicator value based on the data. The controller is further configured to, responsive to the error indicator value satisfying a threshold, indicate that at least a portion of the word line is to be skipped during writing of second data to the block of the non-volatile memory.
