Abstract
A memory device having a memory array with a plurality of memory cells electrically coupled to a plurality of wordlines and a plurality of bitlines and control logic coupled with the memory array. The control logic perform operations including: determining a metadata value characterizing a first read level voltage of a highest threshold voltage distribution of a subset of the plurality of memory cells, wherein the metadata value comprises at least one of a failed byte count or a failed bit count; adjusting, based on the metadata value, a second read level voltage for a second-highest threshold voltage distribution of the subset of the plurality of memory cells; and causing, to perform an initial calibrated read of the subset of the plurality of memory cells, the adjusted second read level voltage to be applied to a wordline of the plurality of wordlines to read the second-highest threshold voltage distribution.
