Assignee: SANDISK TECHNOLOGIES, INC.
Field: Computer technology (Electrical engineering)
Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 15:
16. A control circuit for performing memory operations on a memory structure, wherein the control circuit is programmable to perform:
a programming sequence for a set of memory cells, wherein a programming operation associated with the programming sequence stores a set of bits, including fast bits, in the memory cells; and
verify operations for the set of memory cells, wherein the verify operations comprise:
a first verify operation for the set of memory cells based on memory cell voltages for the set of memory cells and a verify high voltage threshold, wherein the programming operation is determined to be completed if at least one of the memory cell voltages satisfy the verify high voltage threshold; and
an application of a bit line voltage to a memory cell associated with the fast bits based on a memory cell voltage associated with the memory cell and a target voltage threshold, wherein the bit line voltage is applied to the memory cell if the memory cell voltage associated with the memory cell fails to satisfy the target voltage threshold.
