Abstract

Systems and methods for bit line modulation to compensate for cell source variation are disclosed. For example, a method for reading data from non-volatile storage comprising determining a first bit line level based on a first programmed data state that is being sensed and determining a second bit line level based on a second programmed data state that is being sensed. As another example, a storage device comprising a first bit line driver configured to generate a first bit line level for a first set of bit lines corresponding to a first set of memory strings based on a first cell source level associated with the first set of memory strings a second bit line driver configured to generate a second bit line level for a second set of bit lines corresponding to a second set of memory strings based on a second cell source level associated with the second set of memory strings.
