Abstract
A memory apparatus includes memory cells configured to store a threshold voltage corresponding to one of a plurality of data states. The memory apparatus also includes a control means configured to detect whether data stored in a group of the memory cells as one bit per each of the memory cells has errors. The control means is also configured to bypass error correction of the data stored in the group of the memory cells in response to not detecting the errors in the data stored.
