Abstract
A flash memory device includes a memory cell array with multiple memory cells, a data buffer, a write driver and a controller. The data buffer stores data to be programmed into the memory cells, the data having sequential data addresses. The write driver programs the data stored in the data buffer into the memory cells during one programming operation. The controller controls operations of the data buffer and the write driver, and performs flexible mapping between addresses of the data buffer and the data addresses based on a first address of the data.
