Paragraph Number

151

In one embodiment, at least one of the candidate read levels will produce an optimal result, result in the fewest number of bit errors when reading from one of the adjacent memory states. Such candidate read levels may be referred to as a target read level. A target read level is a read level that results in a smallest or fewest number of activated memory cells in relation to other candidate read levels that may be iteratively checked. In another embodiment, the target read level is a read level that results in a smallest or fewest number of bit errors or bit error rate or estimated bit error rate from a read set of memory cells in relation to other candidate read levels that may be iteratively checked.
