Abstract

A method for reading data from an integrated electronic memory device including a non-volatile memory matrix includes supplying the memory with an address of a memory location where a reading is to be effected, accessing the memory matrix in a random read mode, supplying the memory with a clock signal and an address acknowledge signal (LAN), detecting a request for burst read mode access, and starting the burst reading as the clock signal shows a rising edge. A related circuit is also provided.
