Abstract
A nonvolatile memory device comprises a memory cell array comprising a plurality of memory blocks each divided into a plurality of regions, and a control logic component. The control logic component selects a memory block to be programmed based on program/erase cycles of the memory blocks, and selects a program rule used to program the regions of the selected memory block.
Claims16
A nonvolatile memory device, comprising:
- a memory cell array comprising a plurality of memory blocks respectively divided into a plurality of regions;
- and
- a control logic component configured to select one of the memory block to be programmed based on a program or erase count of each of the respective memory blocks, and further configured to determine a program rule to be applied to the selected memory block based on program or erase counts of the respective regions of the selected memory block.
A method of programming a nonvolatile memory device, comprising:
- selecting a memory block having a low program or erase count from a plurality of memory blocks;
- selecting a program rule to be applied to the selected memory block based on information regarding program or erase counts of respective regions within the selected memory block;
- and
- programming one of the regions of the selected memory block using the changed program rule.
