Claim 19:
20. The memory of claim 19, wherein the second programming pulse is a particular second programming pulse of a plurality of second programming pulses, and wherein the controller is configured to cause the memory to:
apply the plurality of second programming pulses to the control gate of the first memory cell portion of the selected split-gate memory cell;
perform a verify operation on the first memory cell portion of the selected split-gate memory cell to determine whether it is deemed to have reached a desired threshold voltage; and
in response to determining that the first memory cell portion of the selected split-gate memory cell is deemed to have reached its desired threshold voltage, disable the first memory cell portion of the selected split-gate memory cell from programming for the second programming operation.
