Abstract
In accordance with one embodiment, a serial sensing scheme may be utilized to sense the information stored on a multilevel cell. The more significant bit of the information in the cell may sense initially. The more significant bit information may be used to determine which of at least two reference levels to utilize to determine a less significant bit of the cell.
