Abstract
A non-volatile electrically erasable and programmable memory provides both a SDP (software data protection) function and an OTP (one-time protection) function. The memory comprises a memory array having a plurality of memory cells each for storing an information bit. The memory further comprises at least one supplementary cell for storing a first state bit pertaining to the write-accessible (or non-write accessible) state of all the memory cells of the memory array, and at least one other supplementary cell for storing a second state bit relating to the blank state (or non-blank state) of a group of memory cells designed to be programmed only once by the user. A common management circuit for the SDP and OTP cells is located outside the memory array.
