Abstract

A memory device includes a processing device configured to iteratively update a center read level according to a first step size after reading a subset of memory cells according to a set of read levels including the center read level; track an update direction for the processing device to use when iteratively updating the center read level, wherein the update direction corresponds to an increase or a decrease in the center read level; detect a change condition based on updating the center read level according to the first step size; and iteratively update the center read level according to a second step size based on detection of the change condition.
