Abstract
Embodiments disclosed herein are directed to a memory device, comprising control circuitry configured to: perform a broad voltage level range bit error rate estimation scan to identify an approximate optimal read reference voltage for a first string; perform a narrow voltage level range bit error rate estimation scan, using the approximate optimal read reference voltage, to determine an optimal read reference voltage for the first string; and perform the narrow voltage level range bit error rate estimation scan, using the approximate optimal read reference voltage, to determine an optimal read reference voltage for a second string, wherein the broad voltage level range bit error rate estimation scan includes scanning a broader range of voltage levels than the narrow voltage level range bit error rate estimation scan.
