Abstract
A data storage device includes a controller and a memory. The controller includes a host interface and a memory interface. The controller writes a first data test to a memory device through either the host interface or the memory interface at a first voltage level to determine a first write value. The controller reads the first data test written to the memory device through the same interface, either the host interface or the memory interface, at a second voltage level to determine a first read value. The controller then changes the second voltage to a third voltage based on a determination of whether the first read value is equal to the first write value to dynamically alter a working voltage level of the storage device in response to changing process, voltage, and temperature conditions.
