A storage device is disclosed and is characterized in that the data to be stored therein can be automatically and repeatedly stored in the device and/or in that additional information dependent on the data to be stored therein can be generated and stored in addition to the data to be stored and/or in that the data to be stored can be consecutively read under different conditions. Thus, the data originally stored in the storage device can be rapidly and easily reconstructed.

Method for operating memory devices for storing data

A current generating device is characterized in that it is configured for, in response to a predetermined event, temporarily impresses a current, which is modified in comparison to the usual current, onto a device connected to the current generating device. In addition, a voltage generating device is configured for, in response to the predetermined event, temporarily applying a voltage, which is modified in comparison to the usual voltage, to the device connected to the voltage generating device.

Current generating device with reduced switching time from an energy saving mode

The sense amplifier compares an input signal characterizing the content of the memory device which is to be read with a threshold value which can be changed or selected on the basis of the output signal from the sense amplifier. The use of such a sense amplifier makes it possible to reduce the risk of the content of a memory device which is to be read being determined incorrectly to a minimum.
