PROGRAM OPERATION EXECUTION DURING PROGRAM OPERATION SUSPEND

Abstract:

A memory device includes a memory array and control logic, operatively coupled with the memory array. The control logic receives, from a requestor, a first request to perform a first memory access operation on the memory array and initiates the first memory access operation on the memory array. Prior to completion of the first memory access operation, the control logic receives, from the requestor, a second request to suspend performance of the first memory access operation and causes the memory device to enter a suspend state, wherein the first memory access operation is suspended during the suspend state. The control logic further receives, from the requestor, a third request to perform a dynamic single-level cell (SLC) program operation on the memory array while the memory device is in the suspend state and initiates the dynamic SLC program operation on the memory array.
