    Abstract: The controlled erase method includes supplying (40) at least one erase pulse to cells (3) of a memory array (2); comparing (53) the threshold voltage of the erased cells with a low threshold value; selectively soft-programming (62) the erased cells which have a threshold voltage lower than the low threshold value; and verifying (42) whether the erased cells have a threshold voltage lower than a high threshold value, which is higher than the low threshold value. If at least one predetermined number of erased cells has a threshold voltage which is higher than the high threshold value, an erase pulse is applied (44) to all the cells and the steps of comparing, selectively soft-programming and verifying are repeated.

    Abstract: Described herein is a method for storing a datum in a first and a second memory cells of a nonvolatile memory. The storage method envisages programming the first and second memory cells in a differential way, by setting a first threshold voltage in the first memory cell and a second threshold voltage different from the first threshold voltage in the second memory cell, the difference between the threshold voltages of the two memory cells representing a datum stored in the memory cells themselves.

    Abstract: The reading device (1) comprises an A/D converter (8) of n+m bits receiving an input signal (V1) correlated to the threshold voltage (VTH) of the memory cell (2), and supplying a binary output word (WT) of n+m bits. The A/D converter (8) is of a double conversion stage type (8), wherein a first A/D conversion stage (10) carries out a first analog/digital conversion of the input signal (V1), to supply at the output a first intermediate binary word (W1) of n bits, and the second A/D conversion stage (16) can be activated selectively to carry out a second analog/digital conversion of a difference signal (VD) correlated to the difference between the input signal (V1) and the value of the first intermediate binary word (W1). The second A/D conversion stage (16) generates at the output a second intermediate binary word (W2) of m bits supplied, with the first intermediate binary word (W1), to an adder (20) generating the binary output word (WT) of n+m bits.
