Abstract

A memory device includes a processing device configured to iteratively determine a set of read results based on reading a subset of memory cells according to a set of read levels determine an update direction based on the set of read results, wherein the update direction corresponds to one of the set of read levels; determine whether a change condition is met; generate an updated read level for the set of read levels based on applying an adjustment step to one of the read levels in the set of read levels along the update direction, wherein the adjustment step is: a first step size in response to the change condition not being met, and a second step size in response to the change condition being met.
