Abstract

Technology for a system operable to write and read data from memory is described. The system can include memory and a memory controller. The memory controller can send an instruction to write data to a NVM address in the memory at a time of last write (TOLW). The memory controller can determine to read the data from the NVM address in the memory at read time. The memory controller can determine a read voltage to read the data from the NVM address in the memory at the read time. The read voltage can be determined based on a difference between the TOLW and the read time, and a modeled voltage drift for the NVM address over a period of time.
