Abstract
A memory array that includes a plurality of memory blocks and a plurality of source switches is introduced. Each of the source switches corresponds to one of the memory blocks, and each of the source switches is coupled to a common source line of the corresponding one of the memory blocks. A selected source switch, which corresponds to a selected memory block among the memory blocks for a program operation, is configured to bias the common source line of the selected memory block to a reference voltage during a program period of the program operation. An unselected source switch, which corresponds to an unselected memory block among the memory blocks for the program operation, is configured to float the common source line of the unselected memory block during the program period of the program operation.
