ABSTRACT:
Provided are a method, system and device for storing multiple bits into a multibit memory cell. In the illustrated embodiment, each multibit memory cell is a “quadbit” cell capable of storing 4 bits which are read out on four bit lines of the cell in response to activation of a common word line. In the illustrated embodiment, the bit subcells of each cell are arranged in a 2 by 2 array in which two pairs of subcells are each aligned in a longitudinal direction . Conversely, each of two pairs of subcells are also aligned in a transverse direction. Additional embodiments are described and claimed.
