Abstract

A byte-programming method for programming data from a page register to a non-volatile memory array includes reading data of a selected byte in the page register and programming the data to the memory cells of the non-volatile memory corresponding to a selected column address; determining whether to update an array column address according to the selected column address, which includes: determining whether the data of the selected byte matches specified content; when the data of the selected byte matches the specified content, not updating the array column address; and when the data of the selected byte does not match the specified content, updating the array column address according to the selected column address; and determining whether the selected column address is the last column address.
