Patent abstract
A memory is provided in which each memory cell can be in a first state or a second state, and those cells which should be in the first state always correctly power up into that state whereas cells which should be in the second state may power up incorrectly. A counting arrangement is provided to count the number of cells in either of the states and to compare this with a predetermined number. If the numbers do not match, a memory reset is performed. The memory cells can be constructed from a single fusible element thereby saving space whilst also consuming substantially zero power following power up.
