Abstract

The memory and method for reading include a synchronous multilevel non-volatile memory with cell addresses which define a pair of memory cells on different planes of the multilevel memory and plane addresses which define the plane on which the memory cell defined by a memory cell address is to be read. The memory and method include switching the plane address at a preset time interval after the switching of a memory address and at the highest possible switching frequency, and reading the content of a memory location, from the memory, which corresponds to the memory address on planes alternatively indicated by the switching of the plane address.
