    Abstract: The invention relates to a programming method for a multilevel memory cell able to store a plurality of bits in a plurality of levels (N), which method comprises the phases of:

    initially programming (I) a cell threshold value (VthDATI) to a first set of levels [O;(m-1)] being (m) a submultiple of the plurality (N) of levels of the multilevel cell;
    reprogramming without erasing (II) another set of levels [m;(2m-1)] containing the same number of levels (m) as the first set;
    reiterating (N R - 1 times) the reprogramming without erasing phase (III,IV, ...) until the levels (N) of the multilevel cell are exhausted.

    The invention makes also reference to a multilevel memory device of the type comprising a plurality. of multilevel memory cells organised into sectors, the sectors being themselves split into a plurality of data units (UD) wherein a data updating operation is performed in parallel, the data units (UD) being programmed by means of the programming method according to the invention.
