Abstract:
1. A method of storing N data items in a chain of link modules in a non-volatile memory device, comprising: (a) providing a chain including at least N link modules, wherein each module is controllable to behave either as an inverter or as a latch; (b) inputting said N data items serially to said chain from an opposite end to a first link module; (c) latching a first data item into said first master link module while controlling said first link module to behave as a latch and all intervening link modules to behave as inverters; (d) latching a next data item into a next link module while controlling said next link module to behave as a latch and all intervening link modules to behave as inverters; and (e) repeating step (d) until all N data items have been moduled in said chain.
