Abstract
The present invention relates to a method of programming a multi level cell capable of storing above 1 data bit. The method includes storing first data in a first storing unit, storing second data in a second storing unit, programming a least significant bit data in accordance with the data stored in the first and second storing units, and programming a most significant bit data in accordance with the data stored in the first and second storing units following the program of the least significant bit data.
Claims9
A method of programming a multi level cell, the method comprising:
- storing first data in a first storing unit;
- storing second data in a second storing unit;
- programming a least significant bit data in accordance with the data stored in the first and second storing units, wherein the least significant bit is programmed after the second data is stored in the second storage unit;
- and
- programming a most significant bit data in accordance with the data stored in the first and second storing units following the program of the least significant bit data.
A method of programming a multi level cell, the method comprising:
- storing a first data in a first storing unit;
- transmitting the first data stored in the first storing unit to a second storing unit;
- storing a second data in the first storing unit;
- determining data of a third storing unit in accordance with combination of the data in the first storing unit and the data in the second storing unit;
- and
- programming the multi level cell at one time in accordance with the data in the first to third storing units, wherein the multi level cell is programmed after determining the data of the third storing unit.
A method of programming a multi level cell, the method comprising:
- receiving a first program information about a first bit;
- receiving a second program information about a second bit;
- and
- performing a programming operation after receiving the second program information.
