    Abstract: A read amplifier of a memory device has two current generators, an inverter, and five transistors. The inverter is connected to the second current generator. The first transistor has a gate connected to the read amplifier, a drain connected to the first current generator, and a source connected to a reference ground. The second transistor has a gate connected to the first current generator, a drain connected to a reference voltage, and a source connected to the gate of the first transistor. The third transistor has a drain connected to the first current generator and a source connected to the reference ground. The fourth transistor has a gate connected to the first current generator, a drain connected to the second current generator, and a source connected to the reference ground. The fifth transistor has a drain connected to the second current generator and a source connected to the reference voltage.

    Abstract: A memory sense amplifier is configurable on command between a current-sensing mode and a voltage-sensing mode. The sense amplifier is intended, in its current-sensing configuration, to read a datum stored in a memory cell connected to the amplifier, and is intended, in its voltage-sensing configuration, to read a datum stored in a bit-line latch connected to the amplifier.

    Abstract: A method can be used for checking the operation of a device of electrically erasable programmable read-only memory type powered by a power supply voltage and associated with a power on reset circuit. The method includes implementation of at least one pilot operation corresponding to a phase of operation of the device that is identified as a phase that is inclined to malfunction in the event of a drop in the power supply voltage below a given value, execution of the at least one pilot operation during the operation of the memory device, and analysis of the result of the pilot operation so as to detect any malfunction not prevented by the reset circuit.
