Abstract
A method is described for programming memory cells, in particular of the Flash type. In accordance with the method, a verification is performed with a first parallelism (M) in which a reading is carried out for determining the state of a group of memory cells, a determination is performed of a programming parallelism (np), based on the results of the verification, and a real programming of the memory cells carried out with the programming parallelism (np). An architecture is also described for programming memory cells in particular of the Flash type.
