ABSTRACT:
The invention concerns an arrangement for controlling a non-volatile memory arrangement for a circuit comprising: a micromechanical element coupled to a substrate; the micromechanical element being responsive to deflection means arranged on the substrate to control the movement of the micromechanical element between one or more stable states. In addition, the invention concerns a method for controlling a non-volatile memory device arrangement comprising: applying one or more signals to a deflection means for moving a micromechanical element between one or more stable states. To enhance the efficacy of the invention there is further provided a shorting circuit for use in the non-volatile memory arrangement.
