Abstract
Aspects for programming a nonvolatile electronic device include performing an initial verify step of a programming algorithm with an initial type of reference voltage value, and performing one or more subsequent verify steps in the programming algorithm with a second type of reference voltage value. Further included is utilizing a read reference voltage for the initial verify step, wherein desired programming is ensured for a cell that falls out of ideal distribution.
