Abstract
A method is provided for block writing in an electrically programmable non-volatile memory, in which a block to be written in the memory includes at least one word. The method includes determining a word write time by dividing a fixed block write time by the number of words in the block to be written, and controlling the memory to successively write each word in the memory during the write time.
