Abstract
A method for storing data multi-level cell (MLC) memory includes receiving data to be stored. The received data is divided into units of x bits, where x is an integer greater than or equal to 3. Each of the units of x bits is stored over a span of y memory cells of the MLC memory. Here, y is an integer greater than or equal to 2. At least one bit of each of the x bits is stored only partially in a first memory cell of the span of y memory cells and the at least one bit is also stored, only partially, in a second memory cell of the span of y memory cells such that the at least one bit cannot be interpreted without reading both the first and second memory cell of the span of y memory cells.
