Abstract
Methods and apparatus for programming memory cells in a memory array are disclosed. A most recent programming time is determined, the most recent programming time being a time when a most recent programming operation was applied to a reference memory cell in the memory array. A programming signal is then applied to a target memory cell in the memory array, the programming signal having a programming parameter which depends at least in part on the most recent programming time.
