Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for balanced codewords for reducing a selected state in memory cells are described. A memory device may divide a sequence of data bits into sets of bits associated with different bit-positions in a coding scheme. The memory device may then balance a first codeword that includes the first set of the data bits in the binary domain to reach a target ratio of logic values for the codeword. Using the first codeword and the other set(s) of data bits, the memory device may balance the remaining two states in the state domain to reach an overall target distribution of the three states. The memory device may then generate one or more codeword(s) for the other set(s) of data bits so that the memory device can write all of the codewords to ternary cells.
