Abstract

A read operation is performed on a memory device in accordance with a pass-through voltage setting that defines a pass-through voltage applied to one or more cells of the memory device during read operations. A number of zero bits read from the memory device based on the read operation are counted and compared with a threshold value. Based on the number of zero bits exceeding the threshold value, the pass-through voltage is increased by adjusting the pass-through voltage setting.
