Abstract:
Apparatuses and methods for providing a program voltage responsive to a voltage determination are described. An example apparatus includes a memory array comprising a plurality of access lines. The example apparatus further includes a memory access circuit coupled to the memory array. The memory access circuit is configured to, during a memory program operation, provide an inhibit voltage to the plurality of access lines. The memory access circuit is further configured to, during the memory program operation, provide a program voltage to a target access line of the plurality of access lines responsive to a determination that an access line of the plurality of access lines has a voltage equal to or greater than a threshold voltage. The threshold voltage is less than the inhibit voltage.

Claim (Index 1):
A method, comprising:\n determining whether a voltage of an access line of a plurality of access lines is equal to or greater than a threshold voltage, wherein the threshold voltage is different than a common inhibit voltage to be provided to other access lines of the plurality of access lines; responsive to a determination that the voltage of the access line is equal to or greater than the threshold voltage before the voltage of the access line reaches the common inhibit voltage, providing a program voltage to the access line of the plurality of access lines; and holding the program voltage on the access line for a length of time less than another length of time that another program voltage was provided to another access line of the plurality of access lines after that other access line had passed the common inhibit voltage.
