ABSTRACT:
A memory controller includes a page configure module that communicates with a memory array comprising B memory blocks each including P pages. The page configure module selectively configures memory cells in the P pages of each of the B memory blocks to store from 1 to T bits per cell. The page configure module also generates a memory map based on the configuration. B, P, and T are integers greater than 1. At least one of a write module selectively writes data to the memory array based on the memory map or a read module selectively reads data from the memory array based on the memory map.
