Claim 23:
24. A method comprising:
storing, in an array of memory cells, a codeword including user data;
storing, in cells of a counter, count data, the count data identifying a number of bits in the user data having a predetermined first logic value;
applying a read voltage to the memory cells to read the user data stored in the memory cells;
applying an offset read voltage to the cells of the counter to read the count data stored in the counter and to provide a target value corresponding to the number of bits in the user data having the first logic value; and
stopping the applying of the read voltage when the number of bits in the user data having the first logic value as read via the read voltage corresponds to the target value represented by the counter data as read via the applying of the offset read voltage.
