Abstract
The invention pertains to non-volatile memory devices, and more particularly to advantageously encoding data in non-volatile devices in a flexible manner by both NVM manufacturers and NVM users. Multiple methods of preferred state encoding (PSE) and/or error correction code (ECC) encoding may be used in different pages or blocks in the same NVM device for different purposes which may be dependent on the nature of the data to be stored.
