Abstract

A FLASH memory is compatible with a standard EEPROM memory in terms of a write-by-page instruction with write protection. A circuit successively addresses one of the columns of a storage matrix in order to write a page previously stored in buffers, and the circuit addresses the writing of a protection bit after the writing of the page.
