Abstract

Memory devices might include a controller configured to cause the memory device to apply a first plurality of incrementally increasing programming pulses to control gates of a particular plurality of memory cells selected for programming to respective intended data states, determine a first occurrence of a criterion being met, store a representation of a voltage level corresponding to a particular programming pulse in response to the first occurrence of the criterion being met, set a starting programming voltage for a second plurality of incrementally increasing programming pulses in response to the stored representation of the voltage level corresponding to the particular programming pulse, and apply the second plurality of incrementally increasing programming pulses to control gates of a different plurality of memory cells selected for programming to respective intended data states.
