Abstract

A controller adapts the read voltage thresholds of a memory unit in a non-volatile memory. In one embodiment, the controller determines, based on statistics for a memory unit of the non-volatile memory, an operating state of the memory unit from among a plurality of possible operating states and adapts at least one read voltage threshold for a memory cell in the memory unit based on the determined operating state.
