A method and an apparatus for monitoring a process that proceeds automatically to ensure that it is executed properly. The method and the apparatus are distinguished in that one or more error signals signaling errors are generated at the beginning of the monitored process, and in that the generation of the respective error signal is discontinued if the error that is intended to be indicated by the relevant error signal has not occurred.

An EEPROM with two-transistor memory cells with source-side selection, and a method for triggering such a EEPROM are described. The EEPROM and the method are distinguished in that the programming voltage required to program a memory cell is delivered via a source line. As a result the EEPROM can be protected in a simple way against unintended loss of the data stored in it.
