Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices for improved efficiency for consecutive read operations are described. For example, a memory system may receive a first command indicating a first read operation in a block of memory cells that are each configured to store more than one bit. In response to receiving the first command, the memory system may initiate the performance of the first read operation by applying a voltage to a set of access lines associated with the block of memory cells. The memory system may additionally receive a second read command indicating a second, consecutive read operation in the block of memory cells, where the second command includes an indication to refrain from discharging the set of access lines. Here, the memory system may initiate the performance of the second read operation without first discharging the set of access lines after the performance of the first read operation.
