Abstract
A circuit configured to dynamically adjust data transfer speeds for a non-volatile memory die interface. The circuit includes an initialization circuit, a control circuit, a switch circuit, and a read-write circuit. The initialization circuit is configured to load multi-level cell settings that configure a memory interface for transfer of data for storage cells configured to store more than one bit per storage cell. The control circuit is configured to receive a read command that references single-level storage cells of a memory die. The switch circuit is configured to switch settings for the memory interface from the multi-level cell settings to single level cell settings, in response to receiving the read command. The read-write circuit is configured to read data for the read command from the memory die using the single level cell settings.
