ABSTRACT:
The present invention concerns a data updating method for a non-volatile memory broken down into a plurality of similar memory subdivisions that can be erased independently of each other and among which at least two memory subdivisions (SRA, SRB) are reserved for updating data contained in each of said subdivisions (SM). The method implemented enables the execution time of an update to be reduced by simultaneously erasing the non-reserved memory subdivision (SM) to be updated and an unused reserved memory subdivision (SRB).
