Abstract

See full text

Technologies are generally described to store data in single-level memory using rank modulation. In some examples, data to be encoded to single-level memory may be represented with a bit ranking for a group of bits. A program vector may then be determined from the bit ranking and partial program characteristics associated with the memory group(s). The memory group(s) may then be programmed according to the program vector. The encoded data may be subsequently retrieved by performing a series of partial programming operations on the memory group(s) to recover the bit ranking and derive the data represented.
