Summary:Systems, methods and computer program products for programming data into a multi-plane memory device employ a multi-plane data order. To allow multiple data pages to be programmed without a need to increase the size of page buffers, in some implementations, a data transfer scheme at which the data pages are programmed can be manipulated. Specifically, data across all channels can first be programmed into a first plane of the multi-plane flash memory device in parallel. While the data transfer program operation is in progress, data to be programmed into a succeeding plane (e.g., plane "1") can be read into and cached in one or more page buffers. After the data transfer program for the first plane is complete, data cached in the page buffers can be immediately latched and programmed into the multi-plane flash memory device.
