Definition: MLC
(MultiLevel Cell) A flash memory technology that stores more than one bit per cell. Traditional flash memory defines the two states of one bit (0 or 1) based on a single voltage threshold, known as a "single level cell" (SLC). Multiple bits can be achieved by being able to store and detect multiple voltage levels (see below). See StrataFlash.
