Abstract
The digital memory has at least one data line and address lines. It also has a switching unit that, in an active state, inverts signals on the data line or on at least one of the address lines and that, in an inactive state, leaves the signals unchanged. In a first operating mode, the switching unit is in the same state for writing and reading. In a second operating mode, the switching unit is in respectively opposite states for writing and for reading.
