Abstract
A system and methods to find the threshold voltage distribution across a set of nonvolatile memory cells, such that embodiments may incorporate this distribution information into calculations that may change the read compare voltages used to read the memory cells, while ensuring adequate separation in read voltage between different data states at which the memory cells may be read.
