Apparatuses and methods for multi-bit programming
Multi-bit programming apparatuses and methods are provided. A multi-bit programming apparatus includes a page buffer configured to store first data of the page programming operation, an input control unit configured to determine whether to invert the first data based on a number of bits having a first value and a number of bits having a second value. The input control unit is further configured to invert the first data to generate second data if the number of bits having a first value is greater than the number of bits having a second value and store the second data in the page buffer. The multi-bit programming apparatus further includes a page programming unit configured to program the second data stored in the page buffer in at least one multi-bit cell.
