Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 11:
12. A memory system, comprising:
a memory device configured to perform a program operation for programming data in plural non-volatile memory cells through a plurality of program loops, each program loop including a unit program operation for applying a program pulse to the plural non-volatile memory cells and a verification operation for verifying a result of the unit program operation, use a current detection circuit for detecting whether a threshold voltage distribution of the plural non-volatile memory cells satisfies a reference in a specific program loop of the plurality of program loops, and terminate the program operation after applying a preset program pulse to the plural non-volatile memory cells in a next program loop following the specific program loop; and
a controller configured to transmit a program command and an address indicating the plural non-volatile memory cells to the memory device.
