ABSTRACT:
Systems and methods for reading data are disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method includes measuring characteristics of a plurality of cells at a memory. The characteristics correspond to a plurality of values including a first value stored at a particular cell and a second value stored at a second cell of the memory. The method includes testing whether at least some of the plurality of values match a particular pattern correlated to a disturb condition at the particular cell, and providing a data value corresponding to the particular cell. The data value is determined at least in part based on a result of the testing.
