Abstract:
Memories, data paths, methods for storing, and methods for utilizing are disclosed, including a data path for a memory using multi-level memory cells to provide storage of multiple bits per memory cell. One such data path includes a bit mapping circuit and a data converter circuit. Such a bit mapping circuit can be configured to map bits of the original data to an intermediate arrangement of bits and such a data converter circuit can be configured to receive the intermediate arrangement of bits and convert the intermediate arrangement of bits into intermediate data corresponding to a memory state to be stored by memory cells of a memory cell array.
