Abstract

Official abstract text for this publication.

A method generating program data to be stored in a nonvolatile memory device comprises randomizing the program data, and processing the randomized program data to reduce a frequency of at least one data state among the randomized program data.

First claim

Opening claim text (preview).

What is claimed is: 1. A method generating program data to be stored in a nonvolatile memory device, comprising: randomizing the program data; adding different guide data to different copies of the randomized program data to produce multiple units of modified data each having more bits than the program data; determining a number of bits in each of the units of modified data having a first data state; and based on the determined numbers, selecting one of the units of modified…
