    Abstract: Control logic in a memory device causes a boost voltage to be applied one or more times to a plurality of unselected wordlines of a block of the memory array, the block comprising a plurality of sub-blocks, and the boost voltage to boost a channel potential of each of the plurality of sub-blocks by an amount each time the boost voltage is applied. The control logic further selectively discharges the amount of boost voltage from one or more of the plurality of sub-blocks after each time the boost voltage is applied according to a data pattern representing a sequence of bits to be programmed to respective memory cells of the plurality of sub-blocks. Additionally, the control logic causes a single programming pulse to be applied to one or more selected wordlines of the block to program the respective memory cells of the plurality of sub-blocks according to the data pattern.
