Abstract
A memory device includes an array of memory cells associated with a plurality of wordlines and control logic operatively coupled with the array of memory cells. The control logic can receive a program command comprising a digital value indicating that a physical address of the program command corresponds to a retired wordline of the plurality of wordlines. The control logic can generate dummy data in response to detecting the digital value within the program command. The memory logic can cause the dummy data to be programmed to memory cells that are selectively coupled to the retired wordline.
