Abstract:
Memory devices and methods for operating the same are described. The memory devices may include non-volatile memory having a plurality of memory cells, and a controller. The controller may be configured to begin a first programming operation configured to program a first one of the plurality of memory cells with more than one bit of information, terminate the first programming operation in response to detecting a power loss event, and program, with a second programming operation, second and third ones of the plurality of memory cells with the more than one bit of information.
