Abstract
Control logic in a memory device causes a first pulse to be applied to a plurality of word lines coupled to respective memory cells in a memory array. The control logic further causes a second pulse to be applied to a first set of word lines of the plurality of word lines. The control logic can cause a third pulse to be applied to a second set of word lines of the plurality of word lines and cause a fourth pulse to be applied to a source line of the memory array to erase the respective memory cells coupled to the first set of word lines and to program the respective memory cells coupled to the second set of word lines.
