A method for resolving data to one stored level of N possible stored levels in a multi-level memory includes receiving an access address associated with a memory location of the multi-level memory and applying an ascending staircase read voltage to a word line associated with the access address. The method further includes detecting a sense signal produced on a sense line associated with the access address in response to the stored level and a value of the staircase read voltage, for each value of the ascending staircase read voltage, storing data responsive to the sense signal, and after application of a final value of the ascending staircase read voltage, producing an N-bit value corresponding to the one stored level stored in the memory location.
