Abstract

A method for determining a resultant data word when accessing memory cells includes reading a set of memory cells, and determining first and second data words therefrom. Each memory cell is assigned a component of the first and second data words. The first and second data words for the respective memory cell assume a first value if a first comparison with a first reference value and a second comparison with a second reference value show that the two reference values are greater and assume a second value if the first comparison with the first reference value and the second comparison with the second reference value show that the two reference values are smaller. The first and second data words assume at least one third value if neither condition is satisfied. The resultant data word is determined based on the first or second data words. A corresponding device is also proposed.
