Abstract
In an embodiment, a method of programming non-volatile memory (NVM) comprises: determining, by control logic of an NVM system, a number of unsuccessful attempts to program NVM cells; responsive to the determining, dividing the NVM cells into at least a first group and a second group; programming the first group during a first programming cycle; and programming the second group during a second programming cycle, wherein the first programming cycle and second programming cycle are different.
