Abstract
An apparatus having a memory and a controller is disclosed. The memory is configured to (i) program a protected lower unit in a lower page of a location, (ii) generate a corrected lower unit by correcting the protected lower unit using a first error correction code and (iii) program a protected upper unit in an upper page of the location based on the corrected lower unit. The controller is configured to generate the protected upper unit by encoding an upper write data item using a second error correction code. The controller is on a separate die as the memory.
