Abstract: A programming operation is performed on a first set of memory cells addressable by a first wordline (WL), wherein the first set of memory cells are comprised by an open translation unit (TU) of memory cells. It is determined that a second set of memory cells comprised by the open TU are in a coarse programming state, wherein the second set of memory cells is addressable by a second WL. In response to determining that the second set of memory cells satisfies a threshold criterion, a programming state verify level associated with the second WL is reduced by a verify level offset. A programming state gate step size associated with each WL of the open TU is reduced by a predefined value. A programming operation is performed on the second set of memory cells using the reduced programming state verify level and the reduced programming state gate step size.

Abstract: Implementations described herein relate to a memory device with a fast write mode to mitigate power loss. In some implementations, the memory device may detect a condition associated with power supplied to the memory device. The memory device may detect one or more pending write operations to be performed to cause data to be written to memory cells of the memory device. The memory device may switch from a first voltage pattern, previously used by the memory device to write data to one or more memory cells of the memory device, to a second voltage pattern based on detecting the condition and based on detecting the one or more pending write operations. The memory device may perform at least one write operation, of the one or more pending write operations, using the second voltage pattern.

Abstract: A first program pass of a multi-pass program operation is caused to be performed at a memory array. A first program voltage is applied to a wordline of a block of the memory array to program one or more memory cells during the first program pass. Subsequent to the first program pass of the multi-pass program operation, a pre-read operation is caused to be performed to read data corresponding to the first program pass and from the one or more memory cells. Whether a shift of a threshold voltage corresponding to the one or more memory cells satisfies a condition related to a threshold voltage change is determined based on the pre-read operation. Responsive to determining that the shift of the threshold voltage satisfies the condition, an updated second program voltage of a second program pass of the multi-pass program operation is determined.
