    Abstract: Described herein is an erasure method for an electrically erasable nonvolatile memory device (1), in particular an EEPROM-FLASH nonvolatile memory device, comprising a memory array (3) formed by a plurality of memory cells (8) arranged in rows and columns and grouped in sectors (4) each formed by a plurality of subsectors (6), which are in turn formed by one or more rows. Erasure of the memory array (3) is performed by sectors and for each sector (4) envisages applying an erasure pulse to the gate terminals of all the memory cells (8) of the sector (4), verifying erasure of the memory cells (8) of each subsector (6), and applying a further erasure pulse to the gate terminals of the memory cells (8) of only the subsectors (6) not completely erased.

    Abstract: The data management method applies to a multilevel nonvolatile memory device having a memory array formed by a plurality of memory cells. Each of the memory cells stores a non-binary number of bits, for example three. In this way, one data byte is stored in a non-integer number of memory cells. The managing method includes storing, in a same clock cycle, a data word formed by a plurality of bytes, by programming a preset number of adjacent memory cells. Reading is performed by reading, in a same clock cycle, the stored data word.
