Abstract
A request to perform a secure erase operation for a memory component can be received. A voltage level of a pass voltage that is applied to unselected wordlines of the memory component during a read operation can be determined. A voltage pulse can be applied during a program operation to at least one wordline of the memory component to perform the secure erase operation. The voltage pulse can exceed the pass voltage applied to the unselected wordlines of the memory component during the read operation.
