  • Clustering for read thresholds history table compression in NAND storage systems
    Patent number: 11790984
    Abstract: A flash memory system may include a flash memory and a circuit for performing operations on the flash memory. The circuit may be configured to obtain reference voltages from one or more read samples, and a plurality of sets of reference voltages. The circuit may be configured to obtain a plurality of distances, each being a distance between a point corresponding to the obtained reference voltages and a point corresponding to a respective set of reference voltages. The circuit may be configured to determine a first set of reference voltages such that a distance between the point corresponding to the obtained reference voltages and a point corresponding to the first set of reference voltage is a minimum distance of the plurality of distances. The circuit may be configured to perform read operations on locations of the flash memory with the first set of reference voltages.
