Early discharge sequences during read recovery to alleviate latent read disturb
A memory device includes a memory array and control logic, operatively coupled with the memory array, to perform operations including initiating a read recovery process associated with a block of the memory array. The block includes wordlines at an initial voltage. The operations further include causing an early discharge sequence to be performed on a first set of wordlines of the wordlines during the read recovery process to alleviate latent read disturb. The early discharge sequence includes ramping the first set of wordlines from the initial voltage to a ramping voltage while maintaining a second set of wordlines of the wordlines at the initial voltage.
