Abstract
An apparatus can comprise a memory array comprising multiple erase blocks coupled to a same plurality of strings of memory cells. Control circuitry can be configured to: receive a command corresponding to a sensing operation to be performed on a selected access line of a first group of access lines corresponding to a first erase block; and determine an adjusted sense voltage to be applied to the selected access line in association with performing the sensing operation. The adjusted sense voltage is based on: a quantity of the first group of access lines that are programmed; or a quantity of the second group of access lines that are programmed; or both.
