Abstract
A non-volatile memory device and system as well as a LSB read method are disclosed. The LSB read method includes reading LSB data from a memory cell during a main LSB read operation making reference to a flag cell threshold voltage, determining whether the LSB data contains an error, and if the LSB data contains an error re-reading the LSB data during a LSB recover-read operation without making reference to the flag cell threshold voltage.
