    Abstract: Provided herein may be a semiconductor memory and a method of operating the same. By the method, at least one normal program loop may be performed on a first memory cell, among a plurality of memory cells included in a page selected as a program target, having an N-th program state, among a plurality of program states, as a target program state, and at least one blind program loop may be performed on the first memory cell. While the at least one blind program loop is being performed, a target data pattern that is stored in a data latch of a first page buffer coupled to the first memory cell and that corresponds to the N-th program state may be changed to a first data pattern corresponding to a first program state that is lower than the N-th program state, and wherein N is a natural number equal to or greater than 2.

    Abstract: A variety of applications can include a memory device having memory cells that include capacitors as storage units with each capacitor having a plate coupled to a plate line. The memory device can include a plate line driver coupled to specific plate select lines of a set of multiple plate select lines. A plate line driver scheme can include transistors to provide a plate line voltage to a specific plate line and transistors to provide a system reference voltage to the specific plate line, where high state voltages and low state voltages can be applied to specific plate select lines to switch between placing the plate line voltage or the system reference voltage on the specific plate line. Plate select lines and the plate line driver scheme can be arranged to balance the number of plate select lines and device counts for the plate line drivers.

    Abstract: A processing device, operatively coupled with a memory device, performs a first programming operation on a first set of cells associated with a first wordline of a first die of the memory device. The processing device identifies, based on a first predefined value, a second wordline of a second die of the memory device, wherein the first predefined value is a shift in an index value of the first wordline of the first die of the memory device. The processing device further performs a second programming operation on a second set of cells associated with the second wordline of the second die, wherein the second wordline of the second die is associated with a different index value than the first wordline of the first die.
