Abstract

An inspection method for memory integrity, a non-volatile memory, and an electronic device are provided. The method includes following steps. A threshold voltage of at least one memory cell to-be-inspected in a non-volatile memory is obtained. A data value belonging to the at least one memory cell to-be-inspected is determined by comparing a read voltage and the threshold voltage. When the data value belonging to the at least one memory cell to-be-inspected is determined, a preset voltage is set according to the data value. An offset data value belonging to the at least one memory cell to-be-inspected is obtained by comparing the preset voltage and the threshold voltage of the at least one memory cell to-be-inspected. And, whether the data value and the offset data value belonging to the at least one memory cell to-be-inspected are the same is determined, so as to determine whether an integrity of the memory cell to-be-inspected is defective.
