Abstract
An asynchronous power loss (APL) event is detected at a memory device. A last written page is identified in the memory device in response to detecting the APL event. A count of zeros programmed in the last written page is determined. The count of zeros is compared to a threshold constraint to determine whether to perform a dummy write operation on the last written page.
