Abstract
A memory device to determine a voltage optimized to read a group of memory cells. In response to a command, the memory device reads the group of memory cells at a plurality of test voltages to determine a set of signal and noise characteristics of the group of memory cells. The memory device determines or recognizes a shape of a distribution of the signal and noise characteristics over the plurality of test voltages. Based on the shape, the memory device selects an operation in determining an optimized read voltage of the group of memory cells.
