Abstract: L'invention concerne un procédé d'écriture de données dans une mémoire non volatile (MA, XA) comportant des cellules mémoire devant être effacées avant d'être écrites. Le procédé comprend les étapes consistant à prévoir une zone mémoire principale non volatile (MA) comprenant des pages cibles, prévoir une zone mémoire auxiliaire non volatile (XA) comprenant des pages auxiliaires, prévoir une table de correspondance (VAM) pour associer à une adresse (RAD) de page cible invalide une adresse (XAD) de page auxiliaire valide, et, en réponse à une commande (CMD) d'écriture d'une donnée dans une page cible écrire la donnée ainsi que l'adresse de la page cible dans une première page auxiliaire effacée, invalider la page cible, et mettre à jour la table de correspondance.

Abstract: A bias circuit for read amplifier circuits for memories includes at least one first circuit branch formed by a first pair of MOS transistors connected between a supply voltage and ground. The first pair of MOS transistors includes a P-channel diode connected transistor and an N-channel transistor connected in series, with an enable transistor interposed therebetween. The first circuit branch drives a capacitive load for coupling to the supply voltage. The bias circuit further includes reference current amplifier circuit branches for amplifying a reference current which flows in the first circuit branch for charging the capacitive load. A circuit portion, which controls the charging current of the capacitive load, includes a feedback loop between the reference current amplifier circuit branches and the capacitive load.

Abstract: A sensing circuit (120) for sensing currents, including at least one sense amplifier (122), comprising: a measure circuit branch (132i), having a measure node for receiving an input current (Ic) to be sensed, for converting the input current into a corresponding input voltage (V-); at least one comparison circuit branch (132o), having a comparison node for receiving a comparison current (Igs), for converting the comparison current into a corresponding comparison voltage (V+); and at least one voltage comparator (140) for comparing the input and comparison voltages, and means (N3s,135; N3s,135';N3s,135" ) for generating the comparison current based on a reference current (Ir), said means comprising: at least one voltage generator (135;135';135'') for receiving the reference current and for generating a corresponding sense amplifier biasing voltage (Vsab); and means (N3s) for converting the sense amplifier biasing voltage into the comparison current. The at least one voltage generator includes a first circuit branch (232i), having a first node for receiving the reference current, for converting the reference current into a corresponding reference voltage (Vref), a second circuit branch (232o), having a second node for receiving a regulation current (Ii), in current mirror configuration with the first circuit branch for mirroring a current (Img) corresponding to the reference current, the second circuit branch generating by conversion a non-regulated voltage (Vgen) corresponding to the mirrored current and to the regulation current, and voltage regulator means (N3g,240) receiving the reference voltage and the non-regulated voltage for regulating the sense amplifier biasing voltage by controlling the non-regulated voltage through the regulation current.
