    摘要: A first programming pulse is caused to be applied to a wordline associated with a memory cell of the memory sub-system. In response to first programming pulse, causing a program verify operation to be performed to determine a measured threshold voltage associated with the memory cell. The measured threshold voltage associated with the memory cell is stored in a sensing node. A determination is made that the measured threshold voltage of the memory cell satisfies a condition and the measured threshold voltage stored in the sensing node is identified. A bitline voltage matching the measured threshold voltage is caused to be applied to a bitline associated with the memory cell.

    摘要: Memory array structures providing for determination of resistive characteristics of access lines might include a first block of memory cells, a second block of memory cells, a first current path between a particular access line of the first block of memory cells and a particular access line of the second block of memory cells, and, optionally, a second current path between the particular access line of the second block of memory cells and a different access line of the first block of memory cells. Methods for determining resistive characteristics of access lines might include connecting the particular access line of the first block of memory cells to a driver, and determining the resistive characteristics in response to a current level through that access line and a voltage level of that access line.

    摘要: A processing device in a memory system receives an erase request to erase data stored at a data block of a memory device, the erase request identifying a selected sub-block of a plurality of sub-blocks of the data block for erase, each of the plurality of sub-blocks comprising select gate devices (SGDs) and data storage devices. For each sub-block of the plurality of sub-blocks not selected for erase, the processing device applies an input voltage at a bitline of the respective sub-block and applies a plurality of gate voltages to a plurality of wordlines of the respective sub-block, the plurality of wordlines are coupled to the SGDs and to the data storage devices, each voltage of the plurality of voltages applied to a successive wordline of the plurality of wordlines is less than a previous voltage applied to a previous wordline by an amount equal to a step down interval.

    摘要: Entry of a memory device into a standby mode is determined. During the standby mode of the memory device, a first bias voltage level is caused to be applied to a sense amplifier latch of a sense amplifier of a page buffer circuit of the memory device. During the standby mode, a second bias voltage level is caused to be applied to a set of data latches of the sense amplifier of the page buffer circuit of the memory device, wherein the second bias voltage level is different from the first bias voltage level.
