Abstract

Provided are a flash memory and an operation method thereof. The flash memory includes a memory cell array, a controller and a register. The register stores read parameters that include a read voltage value and a read pass voltage value. The controller is configured to perform the read operation on a selected page according to the read parameters to read out the raw data stored in the selected page, determine whether the raw data includes an error bit, and in response to determining that the raw data includes the error bit, update the read parameters by decreasing the read voltage value and/or increasing the read pass voltage value.
