ABSTRACT:
The access time for the use of an electronic device, for example a chip, is prolonged after each unauthorized access attempt. The access time is determined by the time for the matching of the turn-on voltages of two floating gate cells. Before an access attempt, the turn-on voltage of one cell is set to a predefined initial value and the turn-on voltage of the other cell is set to a value which is higher in comparison and which is increased after each unauthorized access.
