In a setting mode, multiple program verify operations are respectively performed corresponding to the programming operations to respectively generate multiple pass bit numbers. In the setting mode, a pass bit number difference value of two pass bit numbers corresponding to two programming operations is calculated. In the setting mode, an amount of the step value is adjusted according to the pass bit number difference value.
