Paragraph Number

201

The read scan operation may consult width correlation table 1000 and locate the row for memory state D and read the value that intersects with the column corresponding to memory state J. The entry is a width correlation factor 1006 and indicates that when starting memory state 1002 widens then, based on a correlation, the ending memory state 1004 also widens by a correlation factor of 1.1016, a positive correlation. The positive correlation is indicated by the positive value greater than 1. In this example, the width correlation factor 1006 (e.g., 1.1016 as illustrated) may indicate that memory state J experiences a widening of 1.1016 times a widening experienced by memory state D. The read scan operation may leverage this correlation factor to optimize a scanning operation to determine an optimal read level for memory state J.
