Dynamic adjustment of offset voltages for reading memory cells in a memory device

Abstract

A memory device to manage the assignment of offset voltages for read operations, and to adjust read voltages using the offset voltages. The offset voltages are dynamically adjusted by a controller during operation of the memory device in response to read errors. In one approach, a first bin of offset voltages is assigned to a first region of a storage media. The first offset voltages are used to adjust read voltages for reading a page of first memory cells in the first region. The controller determines that at least one error has occurred in reading the page. In response to determining the error, the controller determines second offset voltages that can be used to read the first memory cell without causing a read error. Based on the second offset voltages, the controller identifies third offset voltages for assigning to the first region. The third offset voltages are used for adjusting read voltages for subsequent reads of pages in the first region. The third offset voltages can be assigned from an existing offset voltage bin, or a new offset voltage bin can be generated for the assignment.
