Claim Text:
1. A method for populating a parameter set for dynamically adjusting an operating condition in a memory block of a non-volatile memory circuit, comprising: identifying a desired condition limit; computing a first parameter as a function of a first memory operation to be performed on the memory block, the operating condition being a function of the parameter; including the first parameter in the parameter set; cycling the memory block until the operating condition reaches the desired condition limit; determining after the cycling a second parameter as a function of a second memory operation to be performed on the memory block; including the second parameter in the parameter set; repeating the cycling and the determining and the including the second parameter steps until a desired number of cycles is reached; performing a retention bake on the memory circuit; performing a read operation on the memory block; and verifying a bit error rate resulting from the read operation does not exceed a desired error rate.
