Abstract

Embodiments provide a scheme for estimating an optimal read threshold voltage using a deep neural network (DNN) with a reduced number of processing. A controller includes a combined neural network, which receives first and second cumulative distribution function (CDF) values, each CDF value corresponding to a program voltage (PV) level associated with a read operation on the cells. The combined neural network generates first and second connection vectors based on the first and second CDF values and first weight values, and estimates an optimal read threshold voltage based on the first and second connection vectors and second weight values.
