Abstract:
1. A method for sensing data, comprising: performing a number of sense operations on a number of memory cells using a number of different sensing signals; determining a quantity of the number of memory cells that change sensed states between the sense operations, wherein determining the quantity comprises determining a quantity that change states between one of the number of sense operations and another of the number of sense operations; determining, based at least partially on the determined quantity of the number of memory cells that change sensed states between the sense operations, whether to output first data associated with the number of memory cells or to output second data associated with the number of memory cells; and outputting the first data in response to a determination that the determined quantity is less than a threshold, wherein the first data corresponds to either data sensed during the one of the sense operations or data sensed during another of the sense operations.
