Abstract
A non-volatile data memory space for a range of user addresses is provided by means of a range of non-volatile flash memory locations for writing data. The range of flash memory locations for writing data is larger (e.g., 4 KB v. 100 B) than the range of user addresses. Data for a same user address may thus be written in different flash memory locations in a range of flash memory locations with data storage endurance correspondingly improved.
