Technology for programing NAND memory. A memory system has control circuitry that applies a low voltage (e.g., VSS) to SGS lines in one or more unselected blocks that neighbor a block that has been selected for programming. This low voltage keeps source select transistors off, which cuts off the NAND channels in the neighbor unselected block(s) from the source line. The control circuit may float the SGS lines in other unselected blocks, which allows the source line voltage to ramp up quickly to provide for a faster programming operation.
