Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for threshold voltage (Vt) distribution determination are described. A number of apparatuses can include sense circuitry configured to determine a first current on a source line of an array of memory cells, the first current corresponding to a first quantity of memory cells of a group of memory cells that conducts in response to a first sensing voltage applied to an access line and determine a second current on the source line, the second current corresponding to a second quantity of memory cells of the group that conducts in response to a second sensing voltage applied to the access line. The number of apparatuses can include a controller configured to determine at least a portion of a Vt distribution corresponding to the group of memory cells based, at least in part, on the first current and the second current.
