Abstract

An apparatus is provided that includes a plurality of data arrays each comprising first memory cells, a plurality of read reference arrays each comprising second memory cells, a plurality of write reference arrays each comprising third memory cells, an access block comprising a memory cell from each of the plurality of data arrays, each of the plurality of read reference arrays, and each of the plurality of write reference arrays, and a memory controller. The memory controller is configured to determine a read threshold voltage to compensate a drift of a threshold voltage of the first memory cells, wherein the read threshold voltage is determined based on threshold voltages of a plurality of second memory cells, and a read offset voltage to compensate an offset voltage of the first memory cells, wherein the read offset voltage is determined based on offset voltages of a plurality of second memory cells.
