Systems, methods and/or devices are used to adapt a target charge to equalize bit errors across page types for a storage medium, such as flash memory, in a storage system. In one aspect, the method includes performing a sequence of operations, including: (1) determining a first target charge, a second target charge, and a third target charge, the first, second, and third target charges used for controlling first, second, and third charge distributions, respectively, in cells of the storage medium when data is written to the cells, wherein the second charge distribution is between the first charge distribution and the third charge distribution, (2) determining a first error indicator for lower/fast pages of the storage medium, (3) determining a second error indicator for upper/slow pages of the storage medium, and (4) adjusting the second target charge in accordance with the first error indicator and the second error indicator.
A method of setting target charges for a storage medium in a storage system, the method comprising:
A device operable to set target charges for a storage medium, the device comprising:
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing one or more programs configured for execution by a device coupled to a storage medium, the one or more programs comprising instructions for causing the device and/or storage medium to perform a sequence of operations, including:
