The memory device comprises a physical memory plane (PMP) comprising m first physical lines (RGP1i) extending along a first direction and n second physical lines (RGP2j) extending along a second direction, reception means for receiving a logical address (ADR) designating a first logical line (RG1i) and a second logical line (RG2j) of a matrix logical memory plane (PML), possessing 2p first logical lines extending along the first direction and 2q second logical lines extending along the second direction, in that m and n are each different from a power of two, m being a multiple of 2k, k being less than or equal to p, and the product of m and n being equal to the nearest integer above 2p+q, and in that it comprises means for addressing the physical memory plane (PMP) that are configured to address a first physical line and a part only of a second physical line on the basis of the content of the said logical address received and of the remainder of a Euclidean division of a part of the content of this logical address received by m/2k.
