1. A method, comprising:
- writing to each of a plurality of floating gate transistors one at a time, in sequence, starting with a first floating gate transistor at an end of the series and finishing with a second floating gate transistor at the other end of the series, wherein writing comprises incrementally adjusting a charge on each of the floating gate transistors and sensing whether the charge corresponds to a desired value.

Abstract
Methods, systems, and devices include a system for sequentially writing to a data locations coupled to one another in series. The system includes a plurality of data locations and a controller. The controller is configured to sequentially write data values to the plurality of data locations, starting with the data location at an end of the series and then sequentially writing to each adjacent data location.

7. A method, comprising:
writing a plurality of data values to a plurality of data locations one at a time, in sequence, wherein the writing comprises; adjusting a parameter of one of the data locations by an increment; reading the value stored by the one of the data locations; determining whether the value stored corresponds to a value to be written; and if the value stored does not correspond to the value to be written, adjusting the parameter by another increment. - View Dependent Claims (8, 9, 10, 11, 12, 13, 14)
