Abstract
Various embodiments described herein provide for extending a size of a memory unit of a memory device, such as a codeword of a page of the memory device, where the memory device can be included by a memory system. In particular, some embodiments implement extending (e.g., increasing) the size of a memory unit (e.g., codeword) to store more data, such as more host data (e.g., user data) and protection data (e.g., parity data), within the memory unit while using a memory unit storage slot (e.g., codeword storage slot in a page) that is smaller in size than the extended memory unit.
