Abstract
An error-resilient memory device includes sets of memory blocks and redundant memory blocks for storing a set of data bits. A memory block includes a set of memory cells, each memory cell is adjacent to at least two other memory cells, and a memory block is formed by a matrix of the set of memory cells. In a row-folded implementation, a word line is connected to each memory cell, and a set of bit lines is connected to the corresponding set of memory cells. In a column-folded implementation, a bit line is connected to each memory cell, and a set of word lines is connected to the corresponding set of memory cells. A redundant memory block is used to store the set of data bits when the memory block includes a fault.
