Abstract
Some rows of memory cells can be configured to store auxiliary data, which provides data protection for user data stored in the other rows of memory cells. The data protection provided by the auxiliary data can include, but not limited to, error correction and/or detection schemes. To further enhance the protection of data stored in the rows of memory cells, the available space in these rows of memory cells can be used to store preliminary auxiliary data, designed to provide data protection for the auxiliary data itself.
