Abstract:
A processing device in a memory sub-system logically closes a block of a memory device to prevent additional program operations from being performed on the block. The processing device further causes one or more wordlines of the block to be programmed with padding data. The one or more wordlines are adjacent to a last wordline of the block programmed before the block was logically closed. In addition, the processing device causes a remaining set of wordlines of the block to be concurrently programmed to a single program state.
