Abstract

Provided are data processing methods for a non-volatile memory. The data processing methods include obtaining read data and erasure information from the non-volatile memory and correcting an error in the read data by referencing the erasure information obtained from the non-volatile memory. Memory systems may be provided. Such memory systems may include a non-volatile memory and a memory controller that is operable to perform an error correction operation according to the methods described herein.
