Abstract

A method of operating an electronic device includes storing a first plurality of bits of digital information in a memory using a first number of memory cells in parallel. The first plurality of bits of digital information are for operating the device when operating parameters are not within a nominal range. The method also includes storing a second plurality of bits of digital information in the memory using a second number of memory cells in parallel. The second plurality of bits of digital information are for operating the device when operating parameters are within a nominal range.
