A memory device includes a sense amplifier (SA) latch coupled to a sense node. A dynamic latch (DL) is connected to the SA latch and coupled to sense node. A sense line includes the sense node and is selectively connected to the SA latch, the DL, and a bit line that is coupled to a memory cell string. Control logic is coupled to the SA latch and the DL, and to: cause a pre-program verify voltage to boost the sense node; and, in response to detecting a high bit value stored in SA latch, cause a voltage to turn on set transistor(s) of DL so that a first bias voltage or a second bias voltage is stored at a latch transistor. The first bias voltage is useable for slow programming of a selected memory cell and the second bias voltage is useable for fast programming of the selected memory cell.
