INDEPENDENT SENSING TIMES

Abstract: a method includes determining that a program operation includes a first pass to apply a first voltage distribution to a plurality of memory cells and a second pass to apply a second voltage distribution to the plurality of memory cells, performing the first pass of the program operation using a first sensing time, and performing the second pass of the program operation using a second sensing time during the second pass of the program operation, where the first sensing time is shorter than the second sensing time.
