Abstract
A system and a method for searching for an optimal read threshold voltage. A memory device transfers to a controller only needed information (i.e., count formation) for each read, instead of transferring all the read data. The memory device includes: a pattern counter configured to: receive, from a memory cell, read data item, among multiple data items, corresponding to a read request; count, from the read data item, the number of cells reading as a particular value in multiple voltage level regions corresponding to multiple patterns for multiple pages among the plurality of pages, to generate count information; and provide the count information to the controller.
