Abstract

See full text

An embodiment of a non-volatile memory device is proposed. Said memory device comprises a matrix of memory cells; each memory cell is individually programmable to at least a first logic level and individually erasable to a second logic level. The memory device further comprises partition means for logically subdividing the matrix into a plurality of subspaces; each subspace comprises at least one respective memory cell. The memory device further comprises selection means for selecting a subspace, operative means for performing an operation on all the memory cells of the selected subspace, and means for dynamically modifying the number of subspaces and/or the number of memory cells included in each subspace.
