ABSTRACT:
A method and apparatus corrects data read from a multilevel cell memory. The multilevel cell is capable of storing three or more charge states. A first charge state read from the multilevel cell is determined to be erroneous. An output is provided corresponding to that which would be provided if the multilevel cell were maintaining a second charge state, wherein the second charge state has more charge than the first charge state.
