Abstract:
Memory devices, or memory systems, described herein may include a controller (e.g., SSD controller) and a NAND memory device for storing inflight data. When the power loss event occurs, a memory system maintains (i.e., not un-select) the existing memory block being programmed at the time of power loss. The existing program operation at the event of power loss can be suspended by controller. The inflight data can be re-sent by controller directly to NAND latches, when power loss event was detected. The memory system can select a next, immediate available erased page and begin one-pulse programming to store the inflight data, without ramping down the program pump and program pulse, which was in use before the power loss event. The existing programming voltage is used to store/program the inflight data via single pulse programming. When power is restored, the inflight data is moved/programmed to another block for good data reliability.
