1. A method, comprising:
programming an EEPROM, the programming including:
selecting one of first and second programming modes depending on an amount of input data desired to be programmed;in response to selecting the first programming mode, writing the input data into memory cells of the EEPROM using a first programming voltage;in response to selecting the second programming mode, writing the input data into the EEPROM using a second programming voltage, smaller than the first programming voltage; anddetermining that a given number of programming operations have been performed in the first programming mode, andlimiting programming operations to the second programming mode in response to determining that the given number of programming operations have been performed in the first programming mode. |
