Abstract
A first program pass of a multi-pass program operation is caused to be performed at a memory array. A first program voltage is applied to a wordline of a block of the memory array to program one or more memory cells during the first program pass. Subsequent to the first program pass of the multi-pass program operation, a pre-read operation is caused to be performed to read data corresponding to the first program pass and from the one or more memory cells. Whether a shift of a threshold voltage corresponding to the one or more memory cells satisfies a condition related to a threshold voltage change is determined based on the pre-read operation. Responsive to determining that the shift of the threshold voltage satisfies the condition, an updated second program voltage of a second program pass of the multi-pass program operation is determined.
