Abstract

A storage device charges bitlines in preparation for a program pulse. To charge the bitlines, the storage device connects the bitlines to an external regulator instead of an internal regulator to prepare them for the program pulse. The system can charge all bitlines to the external regulator high voltage reference before changing to the internal regulator for bitline stabilization before the program pulse.
