Paragraph Number

25

In one embodiment, correlations between a first, fully tested/checked read level for a memory state and a second read level under testing may be used to reduce the number of candidate read levels tested to find the second read level. In another embodiment, the correlations may be used to inform a change in the predefined order in which candidate read levels are tested/checked. Both adjustments may have the effect of reducing scan time. Advantageously, embodiments of the disclosed solution leverage correlations between memory states to set or adjust read levels efficiently and effectively.
