Abstract
A method for writing data into storage transistors in a memory array where the storage transistors are organized into multiple memory pages with the storage transistors in the memory pages being associated with a respective word line. The method includes, in response to a first memory page being selected for write operation, selecting a second memory page from the multiple memory pages; reading data from the second memory page; and concurrently (i) performing the write operation on the first memory page, and (ii) writing the data read from the second memory page back into the second memory page.

A method for writing data into storage transistors in a memory array, the storage transistors being organized into a plurality of memory pages, the storage transistors in the plurality of memory pages being associated with a respective word line, the method comprising:
- in response to a first memory page being selected for write operation, selecting a second memory page from the plurality of memory pages;
- reading data from the second memory page;
- and
- concurrently (i) performing the write operation on the first memory page, and (ii) writing the data read from the second memory page back into the second memory page.
