Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for generating a balanced codeword protected by an error correction code are described. A memory device may receive data bits for storage. Based on the data bits, the memory device may generate a codeword that includes the data bits, parity bits, and placeholder bits. The memory device may balance the codeword by inverting one or more packets of the codeword. After balancing the codeword, the memory device may store at least a portion of the codeword in memory so that a later operation or a decoding process reveals the packets that were inverted as part of the balancing process. Accordingly, the memory device may re-invert the appropriate packets to recover the original data bits.
