Abstract

A flash memory controller, a non-transitory computer readable medium and a method for reading flash memory cells of a flash memory module. The method may include calculating a group of read thresholds to be applied during a reading operation of a set of flash memory cells that belong to a certain row of the flash memory module based upon a compressed representation of reference read thresholds associated with multiple reference rows of the flash memory module; and reading the set of flash memory cells by applying the group of reference read thresholds to provide read results.
