Abstract:
1. A non-volatile memory system comprising: memory control circuitry; and a non-volatile memory unit coupled to the memory control circuitry and including one or more nonvolatile memory devices organized into sectors, a sector including storage locations for a plurality of sectors of information, a sector of information including user data and overhead, user data of a sector of information including even user data bytes and odd user data bytes and overhead of a sector of information including even overhead bytes and odd overhead bytes, the memory control circuitry for programming of even user data bytes and even overhead bytes of at least one of a plurality of sectors of information into a first sector of a first non-volatile memory device and for programming the odd user data bytes and the odd overhead bytes of the at least one of the plurality of sectors of information into a second sector of a second nonvolatile memory device and for programming even user data bytes and even overhead bytes of at least another one of the plurality of sectors of information into the first sector of the first nonvolatile memory device and for programming the odd user data bytes and the odd overhead bytes of the at least another one of the plurality of sectors of information into the second sector of the second nonvolatile memory device, wherein at least two sectors of information are programmed to at least two of the one or more non-volatile memory devices simultaneously.
