Abstract:
A memory device including a memory having a plurality of memory cells for storing data. The memory device includes a controller communicatively coupled to the memory and configured to organize the data as a plurality of stripes. Each individual stripe of the plurality of stripes includes a plurality of data groups, each of the plurality of data groups stored in the memory using a subset of the plurality of memory cells. Stripe lengths (number of data groups) for individual stripes are determined by the controller based on detecting a condition associated with one or more data groups of the plurality of data groups. At least one data group of the plurality of data groups for each of the individual stripes includes parity data for correcting bit errors associated with the subset of the plurality of memory cells for the individual stripe.
