Abstract

A read voltage level estimating method, a memory storage device and a memory control circuit unit are provided. The method includes: reading a first region of a rewritable non-volatile memory module according to a first read voltage level to obtain a first encoding unit which belongs to a block code; performing a first decoding procedure on the first encoding unit and recording first decoding information; reading the first region according to a second read voltage level to obtain a second encoding unit which belongs to the block code; performing a second decoding procedure on the second encoding unit and recording second decoding information; and estimating and obtaining a third read voltage level according to the first decoding information and the second decoding information. Accordingly, a management ability of the rewritable non-volatile memory module adopting the block code may be improved.
