Abstract
A non-volatile memory system tests for a voltage leak in any of multiple planes using a voltage being ramped up on selected word lines in the multiple planes. If no voltage leak is detected, then the system concurrently programs data into memory cells connected to the selected word lines in the multiple planes. If a voltage leak is detected in any of the planes, then the system separately tests each plane for the voltage leak at its respective selected word line in order to determine which plane is the source of the voltage leak, and then concurrently programs data into memory cells connected to the selected word lines in planes without the detected voltage leak while isolating the plane with the detected voltage leak.
