BIT ERROR RATE BASED DYNAMIC PROGRAM STEP CHARACTERISTIC ADJUSTMENT

Abstract:

A BER corresponding to a group of memory cells programmed via a programming signal having one or more program step characteristics is determined. The determined BER and a target BER is compared. In response to the determined BER being different than the target BER, one or more program step characteristics are adjusted to adjust the determined BER to the target BER.
