    Abstract: A non-volatile memory includes a memory array, a row decoder, a source line decoder, a column decoder, and a sensing circuit. The memory array is connected with m word lines, n source lines and n bit lines. The row decoder determines a selected row of n memory cells. The n memory cells in the selected row are connected with the n source lines and the n bit lines. By the source line decoder, an x-th source line is connected with a source line voltage but the other source lines of the n source lines are in a floating state. By the column decoder, an x-th bit line of the n bit lines is connected with a data line but the other bit lines are connected with a reference voltage. The sensing circuit determines a storing state of a selected memory cell.

    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.
