1. A method for managing the operation of a memory cell that comprises an SRAM elementary memory cell and a non-volatile elementary memory cell coupled to one another, the method comprising:

  • transferring a data bit between the SRAM elementary memory cell and the non-volatile elementary memory cell;

    storing a control datum in a control memory cell that is functionally analogous to and associated with the memory cell;

    reading the data bit from the SRAM elementary memory cell;

    performing a corresponding read of the control datum; and

    inverting the data bit read from the SRAM elementary memory cell if the control datum has a first value while not inverting the data bit read from the SRAM elementary memory cell if the control datum has a second value.
