Abstract
Non-volatile memory, such as Flash memory, is programmed by writing a window of information to memory. The programmed/non-programmed state of each memory cell may be dynamically determined for each window and stored as an indication bit. These techniques can provide for improved average power drain and a reduced maximum current per window during programming.
