Abstract

Control logic in a memory device initiates an express programming operation to program the set of memory cells to a target programming level of a set of programming levels. A set of data associated with the express programming operation is stored in a cache register. At a first time during the execution of the express programming operation, a prediction operation is executed to determine a prediction result corresponding to a programming status of the set of memory cells. The prediction result is compared to a threshold level to determine whether a condition is satisfied. The release of the set of data from the cache register is caused in response to satisfying the condition.
