Abstract

A non-volatile memory system that has two or more sub-blocks in a block performs a check before accessing memory cells to see if the condition of a sub-block that is not being accessed could affect the memory cells being accessed. If such a sub-block is found then parameters used to access the cells may be modified according to a predetermined scheme.
