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 19):
The circuit of  claim 18 , wherein the second sensing operation is skipped if the voltage of the selected source line is lower than the reference voltage, and the second sensing operation is performed if the voltage of the selected source line is not lower than the reference voltage.
