Abstract
One aspect of the technology is a memory device, which comprises a plurality of page buffers and control circuitry. Different page buffer circuits in the plurality of page buffer circuits are coupled to different bit lines in a plurality of bit lines in a memory array. The control circuitry is responsive to a program command to program multiple cells in the memory array, by setting, via the plurality of page buffer circuits, different target voltages at a same time for the different bit lines coupled to the multiple cells.
