Abstract

A system and method, including computer software, is used to write to a flash memory device that includes multiple memory cells. One or more of the memory cells are written at a first resolution corresponding to a first number of bits of data. A signal to write at a second resolution corresponding to a second number of bits of data is received. One or more of the memory cells are written at the second resolution.
