Abstract
A first example comprises programming a memory cell to store a value; applying a series of currents of increasing size to a bit line of the memory cell; and measuring a voltage of a control gate terminal of the memory cell to determine a bias. A second example comprises programming a memory cell to store a value; applying a predetermined current to a bit line of the memory cell; and measuring a voltage of a control gate terminal of the memory cell to determine a bias.
