Abstract
A method of operating a non-volatile memory including having a first set of non-volatile memory cells and a second set of non-volatile memory cells. The first set of non-volatile memory cells and second set of non-volatile memory cells are associated with host addresses. Voltage levels are determined to erase the first and second sets of non-volatile memory cells. The first and second sets of non-volatile memory cells are disassociated from the host addresses. And, the first set of non-volatile memory cells is associated to another address based on the voltage level effective to erase the non-volatile memory cells.
