    Abstract: A memory device and associated control methods are provided. The memory device is electrically connected to M bit lines and N word lines. The memory device includes a memory array having memory cells and a controller. The memory cells are located at intersections of the M bit lines and the N word lines. A selected memory cell including a storage element and a selector switch is electrically connected to an m-th bit line and an n-th word line. The controller changes a cell cross voltage of the selected memory cell in the first duration, the second duration, and the post duration, respectively. The cell cross voltage in the first duration is greater than the cell cross voltage in the post duration, and the cell cross voltage in the post duration is greater than the cell cross voltage in the second duration.

    Abstract: A method for maintaining a data set includes storing a base copy of the data set in a first non-volatile memory having a first writing speed, storing changes to the data set in a first change data set in a second non-volatile memory having a second writing speed, and generating a current copy of the data set by reading the base copy and the changes. If a threshold number of entries in the first change data set is reached, then part or all of the first change data set is moved into a second change data set in the first non-volatile memory, where the generating step includes reading the second change data set. If a threshold number of entries in the second change data set is reached, then the current copy is generated by reading the base copy and the changes in the first and the second non-volatile memory.

    Abstract: A program method for a multi-level cell (MLC) flash memory is provided. The memory array includes a plurality of pages and a plurality of paired pages, which correspond to the respective pages. The program method includes the following steps. Firstly, a program address command is obtained. Next, whether the program address command corresponding to any one of the paired pages is determined. When the program address command corresponds to a first paired page, which corresponds to a first page among the pages, among the paired pages, data stored in the first page to a non-volatile memory are copied. After that, the first paired page is programmed.
