Abstract

A memory device includes memory cells coupled to a same word line and bit lines, respectively, and a peripheral circuit coupled to the memory cells through the word and bit lines. Each memory cell is in one state. The peripheral circuit is configured to determine a first number of a first set of the memory cells and a second number of a second set of the memory cells in parallel. Threshold voltages of the first set of the memory cells are between a first voltage and a second voltage larger than the first voltage. Threshold voltages of the second set of the memory cells are between the second voltage and a third voltage larger than the second voltage. The peripheral circuit is also configured to determine a first read level corresponding to a first state based on the first number and the second number.
