Abstract

A radiation hardened NAND flash memory data storage device suitable for space flight having a plurality of memory cells configured to store data values in accordance with a predetermined rank modulation scheme and a memory controller that receives a current error count from an error decoder of the data device for one or more data operations of the flash memory device and selects an operating mode for data scrubbing in accordance with the received error count and a program cycles count. Methods of operating the data storage device are also described.
