    Abstract: The present invention relates to a method for programming a memory cell having a determined transconductance curve. The programming of the memory cell comprises a series of programming cycles each comprising a step of verifying the state of the memory cell. According to the present invention, the verify step comprises a first read of the memory cell with a first read voltage greater than a reference threshold voltage, and a second read of the memory cell with a second read voltage lower than or equal to the reference threshold voltage. The memory cell is considered not to be in the programmed state if first- and second-read currents flowing through the memory cell are above determined thresholds, and programming voltage pulses are applied to the memory cell while the latter is not in the programmed state. Application in particular to the programming of Flash memory cells.

    Abstract: A method writes data in a non-volatile memory comprising a main memory area comprising target locations, and an auxiliary memory area comprising auxiliary locations. The method comprises a write-erase cycle comprising: reading an initial set of data in a source location located in the main or auxiliary memory area; inserting the piece of data to be written into the initial set of data, to obtain an updated set of data, partially erasing a first group of auxiliary locations and a group of target locations designated by locations of a second group of auxiliary locations, and writing, in an erased auxiliary location of a third group of auxiliary locations, the updated set of data and the address of the target location. The method is particularly applicable to FLASH memories.

    Abstract: An electronic device where the ratio between two amplification factors of two amplifiers, called main amplifiers, is adjusted using a control means. The control means constantly equalizes the output signals of the two main amplifiers by adapting one of the control signals. The output signals are acted on in order to adjust the control signals. Owing to the fact that the input signals are in a ratio N, this same ratio is obtained between the amplification factors of the two main amplifiers. The two main control signals, used to control the main amplifiers, are employed for controlling any other amplification factor of at least two other amplifiers or groups of amplifiers, so as to establish a ratio N between these other amplification factors. The main circuit thus allows N to be applied and regulated between the amplification factors of other amplifiers.

    Abstract: The electronic shift device includes N inputs and N outputs, a configurable barrel shifter connected between the N inputs and the N outputs. A second shifter is arranged and connected between some of the outputs of the barrel shifter and some of the N outputs according to different predetermined organizations of data that can be received simultaneously on at least some of the N inputs. The second shifter is configurable so that, for a relevant organization and regardless of the desired shift value compatible with the organization, the corresponding input data are delivered to predetermined outputs. A first controller is able to configure the barrel shifter according to the desired shift value and a second controller is able to configure the second shifter according to the organization of the data that can actually be received and according to the desired shift value.
