Abstract
Control logic in a memory device identifies a set of a plurality of memory cells configured as multi-level cell (MLC) memory to be programmed during a program operation and causes, at a first time during a program operation, a first programming pulse to be applied to a memory cell of the memory array to be programmed to a first programming level. The control logic further performs a program verify operation corresponding to the first programming level and compares a threshold voltage of the memory cell to one or more program verify voltage levels of the program verify operation to determine whether a condition is satisfied. The control logic further executes a level shifting operation in response to the condition to be satisfied.
