Abstract:
A memory device is disclosed. The memory device includes a memory bit array comprising a plurality of memory bits, wherein each memory bit is configured to present an initial logic state when the memory device is powered on, and an erasion circuit, coupled to the memory bit array, and configured to alter an intrinsic characteristic of at least one of the memory bits so as to alter the initial logic state of the at least one memory bit.
