  • Method and device operating a memory device
    Patent number: 10452309
    Abstract: A method for operating a memory device, in which a first memory region of the memory device can be written with blocks of data that are to be stored, including: storing of the data to be stored at a first target address, storing of the data to be stored at a second target address, the second target address differing from the first target address by a specifiable offset, and the specifiable offset being larger than 20 percent of the first memory region.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: April 5, 2018
    Date of Patent: October 22, 2019

  • Method for reading a data block of a nonvolatile memory of a control unit
    Patent number: 9390005
    Abstract: A method for reading a data block of a nonvolatile memory of a processing unit, the nonvolatile memory being subdivided into sectors; the sectors being written to consecutively in each case from a sector beginning to a sector end with different versions of different data blocks; a current version of a data block being written to a current position in a current sector; in a cache memory, for each data block, an entry being present that characterizes the respective data block.
