Abstract

A memory device includes memory components that represent a logic value corresponding to a data bit in a bit sequence. A defective memory component in the memory device represents a data bit in the bit sequence. An additional memory component in the memory device represents an encode bit in the bit sequence, where the encode bit indicates whether the bit sequence is inverted.
