Abstract

A method includes during a first portion of a service life of a memory device, programming at least one memory cell of the memory device to a first threshold voltage corresponding to a desired data state. The method can include during a second portion of the service life of the memory device subsequent to the first portion of the service life of the memory device, programming at least one memory cell of the memory device to a second threshold voltage corresponding to the desired data state. The second threshold voltage can be different than the first threshold voltage.
