Abstract
A method of cache programming of a NAND flash memory in a triple-level-cell (TLC) mode is provided. The method includes discarding a lower page of a first programming data from a first set of data latches in a plurality of page buffers when a first group of logic states are programmed and verified. The page buffers include the first, second and third sets of data latches configured to store the lower page, a middle page and an upper page of programming data, respectively. The method also includes uploading a lower page of second programming data to a set of cache latches, transferring the lower page of the second programming data from the set of cache latches to the second set of data latches after the discarding the middle page of the first programming data, and uploading a middle page of the second programming data to the set of cache latches.
