Abstract
In a method of storing a quantity of data in a target memory location, the data quantity is stored first in a non-volatile buffer memory location. It is then examined whether the data are successfully stored in the non-volatile buffer memory location. If the step of examining produces a positive result, the target memory location to which the predetermined quantity of data is to be written is cleared. After the step of clearing of the target memory location, the data are transferred from the non-volatile buffer memory location to the target memory location. To conclude the storage cycle, the non-volatile buffer memory location is then cleared so as to be available for a new storage operation. The effect achieved thereby is a secure and uncomplicated transfer of information from a source memory to the target memory.
