Abstract:
Provided herein may be a method for controlling program verify operations of a non-volatile memory and a corresponding circuit thereof. The method for controlling a program verify operation of a non-volatile memory, comprising: selecting a source line among source lines coupled to a plurality of planes respectively; measuring a voltage of the selected source line associated with target cells of the non-volatile memory to be verified in a first sensing operation; comparing the measured voltage of the selected source line with a reference voltage; and skipping the second sensing operation if the measured voltage of the selected source line is lower than the reference voltage.

Claim (Index 8):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising providing the result of the comparing the measured voltage of the selected source line with the reference voltage to a microcontroller of the non-volatile memory.
