Abstract
Memories might include control logic configured to cause the memory to perform a first sense operation having an initial phase and a plurality of sensing phases on a first grouping of memory cells, pause the first sense operation upon completion of a present sensing phase in response to receiving a command to perform a second sense operation on a second grouping of memory cells while performing the present sensing phase, perform an initial phase of the second sense operation after pausing the first sense operation, and, in response to completion of the initial phase of the second sense operation, resume the first sense operation at a next subsequent sensing phase of the plurality of sensing phases and continue to a sensing phase of the second sense operation to perform the next subsequent sensing phase of the first sense operation and the sensing phase of the second sense operation concurrently.
