Abstract
A request to perform a program operation on a set of vertically stacked memory cells of a memory device is received. A bitline voltage adjustment value based on a number of program erase cycles (PECs) associated with the memory device is determined responsive to determining that at least one memory cell of the set of vertically stacked memory cells is non-programmable. A default bitline voltage is adjusted by the bitline voltage adjustment value to generate an adjusted bitline voltage. The program operation on the set of vertically stacked memory cells is performed using the adjusted bitline voltage.
