Abstract
A device or apparatus may be configured to perform memory operations on a memory die while a current multi-level cell programming operation is being performed. In the event that a controller identifies pending memory operations to be performed in the memory die, the controller may communicate with the memory die to determine a status of auxiliary latches of the memory die. Depending on the status, the controller may determine if the memory die is in a suspend/resume period and/or which pending memory operations to have performed.
