Abstract

A method for adaptive voltage range management in non-volatile memory is described. The method includes establishing an adaptive voltage range for a memory element of an electronic memory device. The memory element includes at least two states. The adaptive voltage range comprises a lower state and an upper state. The method also includes establishing an adjustment process to implement a first adjustment of an abode characteristic of a first state and to implement a second adjustment of an abode characteristic of a second state in the adaptive voltage range in response to a trigger event, wherein the first adjustment of an abode characteristic of the first state is different from the second adjustment of an abode characteristic of the second state.
