Dragging first pass read level thresholds based on changes in second pass read level thresholds

A system comprising:

• a memory component;
• and
• a processing device, operatively coupled to the memory component, to:
• determine that read level thresholds between a first plurality of programming distributions associated with the memory component are calibrated;
• subsequent to determining that the read level threshold between the first plurality of programming distributions associated with the memory component are calibrated, change one or more of the read level thresholds between the first plurality of programming distributions;
• and
• adjust one or more read level threshold between a second plurality of programming distributions based on the change to the one or more read level thresholds between the first plurality of programming distributions.

A method comprising:

• performing a first programming pass of a multi-pass programming operation on a memory component resulting in first pass programming distributions, wherein first read level thresholds are established between the first pass programming distributions;
• performing a second programming pass of the multi-pass programming operation on the memory component resulting in second pass programming distributions;
• performing a continuous read level calibration (cRLC) operation on the memory component to calibrate second read level thresholds between the second pass programming distributions;
• and
• subsequent to performing the cRLC operation on the memory component to calibrate the second read level thresholds, adjusting, by a processing device, one or more of the first read level thresholds between the first pass programming distributions based on the second read level thresholds.
