ABSTRACT:
Embodiments of the present disclosure provide methods, devices, and systems for performing a programming operation on an array of non-volatile memory cells. One method includes programming a number of cells to a number of final data states. The method includes performing, prior to completion of, e.g., finishing, the programming operation, an erase state check on a subset of the number of cells, which were to be programmed to an erased state.
