ABSTRACT:
A memory array is divided, at the design stage, into a plurality of elementary sectors; depending on the specific application and the requirements of the user, the elementary sectors are grouped into composite sectors of desired size and number; a correlating unit memorizes the correlation between each composite sector and the elementary sectors; and, to address a composite sector, the relative address is supplied to the correlating unit which provides for addressing the elementary sectors associated with the addressed composite sector on the basis of the memorized correlation table.
