Abstract
According to an embodiment of the invention there may be provided a non-transitory computer readable medium that stores instructions that once executed by a computer cause the computer to sample a flash memory cell that belongs to a die, by attempting, during a gate voltage change period, to change a value of a gate voltage of the flash memory cell from a first value to a second value; sampling, by a sampling circuit that belongs to the die, an output signal of the flash memory cell multiple times during the voltage gate change period to provide multiple samples; defining a given sample of the multiple samples as a data sample that represents data stored in the flash memory cell; and determining, by a processor that belongs to the die, a reliability of the data sample based on one or more samples of the multiple samples that differ from the given sample. The processor may belong to the sampling circuit or may not belong to the sampling circuit.
