Abstract:
A non-volatile memory device includes a matrix memory plane with columns of memory words respectively formed on each row of the memory plane by groups of memory cells and control elements respectively associated with the memory words of each row. At least some of the control elements associated with the memory words of the corresponding row form at least one control block of B control elements disposed next to one another, adjacent to a memory block containing the B memory words disposed next to one another and associated with these B control elements, a first electrically-conducting link connecting one of the B control elements to all the control electrodes of the state transistors of the corresponding group of memory cells and B-1 second electrically-conducting link(s) respectively connecting the B-1 control element(s) to all the control electrodes of the state transistors of the B-1 corresponding group(s) of memory cells.
Abstract:
A method for writing data into an EEPROM connected to an I2C bus, wherein the data to be written is transmitted in frames having a size corresponding to the size of a physical half-page of the memory. The programming of a data page in the memory is performed while another page is being received.
Abstract:
A memory device includes at least one memory cell having a first SRAM-type elementary memory cell having two inverters coupled to one another crosswise and two groups, each having at least one non-volatile elementary memory cell. The non-volatile elementary memory cells of the two groups are coupled firstly to a supply terminal and secondly to the outputs and to the inputs of the two inverters via a controllable interconnection stage.
Abstract:
A memory device includes a memory cell with an elementary SRAM-type cell and an elementary module coupled between a supply terminal and the elementary SRAM-type cell. The elementary module has a single nonvolatile EEPROM elementary memory cell that includes a floating gate transistor. The elementary module also has a controllable interconnection stage that can be controlled by a control signal external to the memory cell. The nonvolatile elementary memory cell and the controllable interconnection stage are connected to one another. The floating gate transistor of the nonvolatile memory cell is controllable to be turned off when a data item stored in the elementary SRAM-type cell is programmed into the nonvolatile elementary cell.
