Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for managing program operations are provided. In one aspect, a memory system includes a memory device, and a memory controller coupled to the memory device. The memory controller is configured to instruct the memory device to write first data in a first single-level cell (SLC) mode using a first program pulse, and in response to detecting that the memory system is disconnected from an external power source, instruct the memory device to write second data in a second SLC mode using a second program pulse. The second program pulse is different from the first program pulse.
Claims20
A memory system, comprising:
- a memory device;
- and
- a memory controller coupled to the memory device, wherein the memory controller is configured to:
- instruct the memory device to write first data in a first single-level cell (SLC) mode using a first program pulse;
- and
- in response to detecting that the memory system is disconnected from an external power source, instruct the memory device to write second data in a second SLC mode using a second program pulse, wherein the second program pulse is different from the first program pulse.
A method of operating a memory system, comprising:
- writing first data in a first single-level cell (SLC) mode using a first program pulse;
- and
- in response to detecting that the memory system is disconnected from an external power source, writing second data in a second SLC mode using a second program pulse, wherein the second program pulse is different from the first program pulse.
A memory device, comprising:
- a memory array;
- and
- a peripheral circuit coupled to the memory array, wherein the peripheral circuit is configured to:
- write first data in a first single-level cell (SLC) mode by applying a first program pulse;
- and
- in response to receiving configuration information that indicates a second SLC mode, write second data in the second SLC mode by applying a second program pulse, wherein the second program pulse is different from the first program pulse.
