APPARATUS FOR DETERMINING AN EXPECTED DATA AGE OF MEMORY CELLS

Abstract:

Apparatus including an array of memory cells, and a controller configured to cause the apparatus to determine a first value indicative of a number of memory cells of a plurality of memory cells that are activated in response to a control gate voltage having a particular voltage level, compare the first value to a plurality of second values, and determine an expected data age of the plurality of memory cells or a plurality of read voltages in response to the comparison of the first value to the plurality of second values.
