摘要：A non-volatile memory device includes the ability to recover data in event of aprogram failure without having to maintain a copy of the data until the write is
completed. As the integrity of the data can thus be maintained with having to save a copy,
buffers can be freed up for other data or even eliminated, reducing the amount ofcontroller space that needs to devoted data buffering. In exemplary embodiments, thedata is recovered by logically combining the verify data for the (failed) write processmaintained in data latches with the results of one or more read operations to
reconstitute the data. The exemplary embodiments are for memory cells storing multi-state data, both in the format of independent upper page, lower page form, as well as in2-bit form. This can be accomplished by a state machine and data latches in the senseamp area on the memory, without use of the controller.
