Abstract
The electrical characteristic of a microelectronic circuit configuration that has at least one analog electronic unit is set. In a configuration step, by feeding and/or extracting electrical charge, the analog electronic unit is put into a state which permanently determines the analog electrical characteristics of the unit. In particular, the floating gate of an EEPROM cell is charged up to a freely selectable charge value lying within a continuous range.
