Abstract

Programming non-volatile memory devices includes identifying addresses in a data buffer for storing a particular one of a plurality of threshold voltage levels, then pulsing the array memory cells to program the array memory cells to the particular threshold voltage level. The identifying and pulsing is repeated for each of the threshold voltage levels.
