Abstract
A methods and system directed to a wordline ramp rate monitor for early detection of defect activation are disclosed. A memory access directed to a wordline is initiated. Based on an applied ramping voltage, a ramp rate of the wordline is determined. Responsive to determining that the ramp rate satisfied a defect condition, the memory access operation is aborted.
