Abstract
Methods of operating a memory include generating a programming pulse for a programming operation having a plurality of steps prior to a program voltage level of the programming pulse, and generating a subsequent programming pulse for the programming operation having the plurality of steps prior to a program voltage level of the subsequent programming pulse, wherein a particular step of the plurality of steps of the programming pulse has a different magnitude than a corresponding step of the plurality of steps of the subsequent programming pulse.
