Abstract
Memory devices and/or methods of storing memory data bits are provided. A memory device includes a multi-level cell (MLC) array including a plurality of MLCs, an error correction unit configured to encode data to be recorded in an MLC, where the encoded data is converted to convert the encoded data into a codeword, an error pattern analysis unit configured to analyze a first data pattern included in the codeword corresponding to an error pattern included in the codeword and a data conversion unit configured to convert the analyzed first data pattern into a second data pattern. According to the above memory devices and/or methods, it is possible to efficiently reduce a data error that occurs when the data is stored for a relatively long period of time, thereby improving reliability.
