Abstract
A read reference level of a plurality of read reference is determined for a set of bit cells of a non-volatile memory array. An indicator of the read reference level is stored in a non-volatile storage location associated with the set of bit cells. The indicator of the read reference level is accessed in response to a read access operation to the set of bit cells and a value stored at a memory location of the set of bit cells is sensed based on the indicator of the read reference level, whereby the memory location of the set of bit cells is associated with the read access operation.
