Adaptive voltage range management in non-volatile memory
First Claim
1. An electronic memory device controller, comprising:
- a voltage range module configured to;
compress a voltage range for a memory element of an electronic memory device from a first voltage range to a compressed voltage range, the memory element comprising at least a first state and a second state; and
implement different adjustments to an abode characteristic of the first state and an abode characteristic of the second state, in response to a trigger event.

Abstract
A method for adaptive voltage range management in non-volatile memory is described. The method includes establishing an adaptive voltage range for a memory element of an electronic memory device. The memory element includes at least two states. The adaptive voltage range comprises a lower state and an upper state. The method also includes establishing an adjustment process to implement a first adjustment of an abode characteristic of a first state and to implement a second adjustment of an abode characteristic of a second state in the adaptive voltage range in response to a trigger event, wherein the first adjustment of an abode characteristic of the first state is different from the second adjustment of an abode characteristic of the second state.
