Integrated circuit memory write protection method and corresponding integrated circuit

摘要

The method involves using a high-voltage generator (1) and regulator (2) delivering the write pulse (Ve) to the memory address decoder (5) in response to a command (3) from a counter (9) initialised by a pseudo-random number generator (8). A microprocessor ( mu p) decodes a write instruction received via input/output signals (IO1,IO2) and reads the random number which is decremented to 1 at the rate of the clock (Clk). A constant delay between the external write command and the end-of-write signal is held in a memory (10) which activates another counter (11) and is programmed for each circuit.
