Abstract

A memory system can program data in different modes, such as normal mode programming and burst mode programming. Burst mode programming programs data into the memory device faster than normal mode programming. MLC Blocks for burst mode programming are selected based on one or more criteria, such as block age, block programming speed, or the like. Further, one or more burst mode TRIM settings, which include one or more of a program voltage TRIM setting, a step-up voltage TRIM setting, skip verify level, and a program pulse width, are used to program the blocks selected for burst mode programming. In this regard, burst mode programming is performed more quickly than normal mode programming.
