The ECC circuit 1230 of mistake.ECC circuit 1230 can be improved by detection and correction bit-errors
The reliability of flash memory 1100.If flash memory 1100 stores N in a memory element
Bit data, then the corrected scope of ECC circuit 1230 is arranged to the N with worst BER
Logical page (LPAGE).Such as, if storing 4 Bit datas, then ECC circuit 1230 in a memory element
Corrected scope be arranged to the 4th logical page (LPAGE).
The factor of the disproportionate expense that can be to increase ECC circuit 1230 of BER of each logical page (LPAGE).
Along with the quantity that can correct bit increases, the area that ECC circuit 1230 occupies increases.By performing certainly
Interweave operation, can average each logical page (LPAGE) according to the flash memory 1100 of Fig. 2 of embodiment
BER, and the expense of ECC circuit 1230 can be reduced.Hereinafter, flash memory 1100 will be described
