Abstract
A memory device can include a memory device coupled with a processing device. The processing device causes a first erase operation to be performed at a block, where the first erase operation causes a pre-program voltage and a first erase voltage having a first magnitude to be applied to the block. The processing device causes an erase detection operation to be performed at the block. The processing device determines that the block fails to satisfy the erase detection operation responsive to causing the erase detection operation to be performed. The processing device further causes a second erase operation to be performed at the block responsive to determining that the block failed the erase detection operation, where the second erase operation causes a second erase voltage having a second magnitude to be applied to the block.
