Abstract

Disclosed in some examples are methods, systems, memory devices, and machine readable mediums for performing an erase page check. For example, in response to an unexpected (e.g., an asynchronous) shutdown, the memory device may have one or more cells that did not finish programming. The memory device may detect these cells and erase them or mark them for erasure.
