Abstract
A method for data readout includes sending to a memory device, which includes a plurality of analog memory cells, a request to read a requested memory page that is stored in a first group of the memory cells. A programming status of a second group of the memory cells is reported to the memory device, so as to cause the memory device to select a reading configuration responsively to the reported programming status and to read the requested memory page from the first group of the memory cells using the selected reading configuration. The requested memory page is received from the memory device.
