Abstract
A defect resistant EEPROM emulator () uses one or more redundant and/or spare blocks () in addition to active and alternate blocks () and stores a duplicate copy of EEPROM data records either in the active and redundant blocks or in duplicate rows in the active block to ensure that EEPROM emulation can continue without data loss in the event a catastrophic failure occurs within a block.
