Abstract

A method for receiving a request for performing a programming operation on one or more memory blocks of a memory device, identifying a value of a media endurance metric associated with the one or more memory blocks, determining a programming voltage offset corresponding to the value of the media endurance metric, and performing, using the programming voltage offset, the programming operation on the one or more memory blocks. The method further includes identifying a program-verify voltage level associated with the one or more memory blocks, determining a program-verify voltage offset associated with the program-verify voltage level and the value of the media endurance metric, and performing, using the program-verify voltage level and the program-verify voltage offset, a program-verify operation on the one or more memory blocks.
