Abstract
Systems and methods relating generally to data processing, and more particularly to systems and methods for characterizing a solid state memory. In one embodiment, the systems and methods may include programming a first cell of a solid state memory device to a first voltage, programming a second cell of the solid state memory device to a second voltage different than the first voltage, detecting a voltage shift in the first cell when the second cell is being programmed; characterizing the first voltage of the first cell offset by the voltage shift as an interim voltage of the first cell, and repeatedly reading the interim voltage of the first cell using a first set of incrementally adjusted voltage values until an output of the first cell changes.
