Abstract
A memory device includes a plurality of memory cells. Each memory cell stores a plurality of signal levels representing a plurality of values corresponding to a respective plurality of bits, bits in corresponding respective positions of significance across the plurality of memory cells constituting respective memory pages of the memory device. The memory device also includes decoding circuitry to decode each bit value of one of the respective memory pages using bit values read from at least one other one of the respective memory pages, adjacent to the one of the respective memory pages. The plurality of signal levels may represent the plurality of values according to a Gray code. The decoding circuitry may be configured to compare each signal level to a set of voltage thresholds, and to decode a subset of the plurality of signal levels using fewer than all voltage thresholds in the set of voltage thresholds.
