ABSTRACT:
A method for programming an array of memory cells, wherein each memory cell has at least three possible states. The method comprises the steps of 1) analyzing a set of data to be programmed into the array of memory cells to determine destination states for each of the memory cells in the array, and 2) programming all memory cells to be programmed to a particular destination state, up to a maximum number of memory cells being programmed at any given time, until all memory cells having a particular destination state are programmed, whereupon all memory cells to be programmed to a next destination state are programmed in a like manner.
