Abstract (en)

[origin: FR2891653A1] The method involves determining a write time of a word of a set of words of a block to be written by dividing a fixed write time for a block by the number of words from the block to be written. An electrically programmable non volatile memory is controlled for successively writing each word in the memory during the write time by applying a writing voltage progressively increasing until the voltage reaches a high voltage. The fixed write time has a value lesser than the former write time. An independent claim is also included for a contactless passive integrated circuit comprising an electrically programmable non volatile data memory and a processing unit.
