  • Selective dummy writes for asynchronous power loss handling in memory devices
    Patent number: 11366592
    Abstract: An asynchronous power loss (APL) event is detected at a memory device. A last written page is identified in the memory device in response to detecting the APL event. A count of zeros programmed in the last written page is determined.
