Abstract
A method and system for improved foggy-fine programming includes data that can be written to SLC memory. Then, the data can be decoded and then both foggy and finely written to MLC. After the decoding, the data can be stored in DRAM located in a front end or in a SRAM located in a flash manager prior to being written to MLC. After storing in either the DRAM or SRAM, the data is then decoded and written to MLC.
