Abstract:
In one embodiment, the method includes overwriting a memory cell storing m-bit data to store n-bit data, where n is less than or equal to m. The memory cell has one of a first plurality of program states when storing the m-bit data, and the memory cell has one of a second plurality of program states when storing the n-bit data. The second plurality of program states include at least one program state not in the first plurality of program states.
