In one example, the range of threshold voltages may be one of a plurality of threshold voltage ranges that may be used to encode multiple bits of data into a memory cell. For example, suppose a memory cell is configured to store two bits of information, and the successive ranges of threshold voltages are between a negative lower bound threshold voltage and positive upper bound threshold, e.g., about 5 volts. If four ranges are defined the lower most range may have a bit assignment of `00`, the next highest a bit assignment of `01`, the next highest a bit assignment of `10`, and the last range a bit assignment of `10`.
