Patent ID: 7561484

Claim:
A system comprising: at least one processor that executes the following computer executable components: a stimulus component that applies a plurality of different stimuli to a plurality of memory cells of a memory device; a sense component that senses a characteristic of each memory cell of the plurality of memory cells as a function of the applied plurality of different stimuli; and an analysis component that determines a logic state of each memory cell of the plurality of memory cells as a function of the sensed characteristic of each memory cell of the plurality of memory cells by at least one of: comparing the sensed characteristic of each memory cell of the plurality of memory cells with one or more numbers, wherein each of the one or more numbers represents a number of memory cells of the plurality of memory cells programmed to a particular logic state; or associating the logic state with a minimum number in change of sensed logic states as a function of the applied plurality of different stimuli.
