Abstract
A memory device comprises an array of memory cells organized into a plurality of wordlines, and a processing device to perform processing operations that receive a program command specifying a memory unit and data comprising first received data, where the plurality of wordlines includes one or more first active data wordlines and a group of consecutive retired wordlines. The processing operations also program the specified data to the memory unit by programming the first received data to the one or more first active data wordlines, identifying a first retired boundary wordline that is in the group of consecutive retired wordlines and is adjacent to one of the first active data wordlines, generating a first data pattern comprising a first plurality of threshold voltage levels, and programming the first data pattern to the first retired boundary wordline.
