Some embodiments include a method for addressing an integrated circuit for a non-volatile memory of the EEPROM type on a bus of the I2C type. The memory includes J hardware-identification pins, with J being an integer lying between 1 and 3, which are assigned respective potentials defining an assignment code on J bits. The method includes a first mode of addressing used selectively when the assignment code is equal to a fixed reference code on J bits, and a second mode of addressing used selectively when the assignment code is different from the reference code. In the first mode, the memory plane of the non-volatile memory is addressed by a memory address contained in the last low-order bits of the slave address and in the first N bytes received. In the second mode, the memory plane is addressed by a memory address contained in the first N+1 bytes received.
