Abstract:
A method and apparatus are described that efficiently program charge-trapping memory cells by dynamically switching sense amplifiers and corresponding drivers depending upon data to be programmed. When a number of sense amplifier/drivers can be operated simultaneously, cells to be programmed to a same level are selected and programmed simultaneously employing up to the number of simultaneously operable sense amplifier/drivers.
