Abstract
A method of storing an input data of a data set into a memory storage having bit cells. The method includes determining a bit value of a characterization bit in the input data. The method also includes writing each of remaining bits in the input data into one of the bit cells as a first state if the characterization bit has a first value, and writing each of remaining bits in the input data into the bit cells as a second state if the characterization bit has a second value that is complement to the first value. In the method, either reading the bit cell with the first state consumes less energy than reading the bit cell with the second state or the bit cell with the first state has less retention errors than the bit cell with the second state.
