ABSTRACT:
A system includes an input that receives a control signal and a program module that initializes a nonvolatile multilevel memory cell based on the control signal. The program module initializes the nonvolatile multilevel memory cell by programming the nonvolatile multilevel memory cell to one of S states of the nonvolatile multilevel memory cell, where S is an integer greater than 1. The one of the S states is different than a lowest one of the S states.
