Abstract
In order to adjust an electric device, it is proposed to integrate a programmable memory unit into the device and to address said programmable memory unit without enlarging the footprint, via contact areas that are obtained by dividing previous contact areas. In this case, an adjustment value in particular for compensating for a fault tolerance is fed into the memory unit, an operating parameter being readjusted with the aid of said adjustment value. In each case two divided contact areas are short-circuited via a common soldering location during the mounting of the device.
