Abstract

A comparator has two inputs, one controlled by a circuit branch including a written cell being examined and one controlled by another circuit branch including a virgin cell. In parallel with the latter is placed another reference cell controlled in an adjustable manner in such a way as to raise the threshold of the written cell which the device is able to discriminate and accept.
