Abstract
A non-volatile memory and an operating method thereof. The non-volatile memory includes a memory cell array, a first dummy cell array, an address decoding unit and a synchronous programming circuit. The memory cell array includes a first memory cell, and the first dummy cell array includes a first dummy cell. The first dummy cell is adjacent to a first side of a memory cell array and corresponds to the first memory cell. The address decoding unit receives an address signal for decoding. When the address signal is a relative address of the first dummy cell, the synchronous programming circuit controls the first dummy cell and the first memory cell to be synchronously programmed.
