Abstract
A method of programming/reading a multi-bit per cell non-volatile memory with a sequence is disclosed. A plurality of less-significant-bit pages are programmed, and a plurality of consecutive most-significant-bit pages of a plurality of consecutive word lines are programmed one after the other in a consecutive order. The most-significant-bit pages through all word lines in at least one memory block of the non-volatile memory are programmed or read after the less-significant-bit pages through all the word lines in the at least one memory block are programmed or read.
