Abstract

The present invention provides a method for accessing a memory. The memory contains M one-time programmable memory blocks, and each has a first memory sector and a second memory sector. The method includes: selecting a first target memory block and reading the first target memory block. The step of selecting a first target memory block is performed by comparing the second memory sectors of N one-time programmable memory blocks from M one-time programmable memory blocks by following a search rule to select the first target memory block.
