Abstract: A non-volatile memory includes a cell array, a current supply circuit, a path selecting circuit, a verification circuit and a control circuit. During a sample period of a verification action, the control circuit controls the current supply circuit to provide n M-th reference currents to the verification circuit and convert the n M-th reference currents into n reference voltages. During a verification period of the verification action, the control circuit controls n multi-level memory cells of a selected row of the cell array to generate n cell currents to the verification circuit and convert the n cell currents into n sensed voltages. The n verification devices generate the n verification signals according to the reference voltages and the sensed voltages. Accordingly, the control circuit judges whether the n multi-level memory cells have reached an M-th storage state.
