32 Freescale Semiconductor
HVEN — High-Voltage Enable Bit
This read/write bit enables the charge pump to drive high voltages for program and erase operations
in the array. HVEN can be set only if either PGM = 1 or ERASE = 1 and the proper sequence for
program or erase is followed.
1 = High voltage enabled to array and charge pump on
0 = High voltage disabled to array and charge pump off
MASS — Mass Erase Control Bit
Setting this read/write bit configures the 8-Kbyte FLASH array for mass erase operation.
1 = MASS erase operation selected
0 = MASS erase operation unselected
ERASE — Erase Control Bit
This read/write bit configures the memory for erase operation. ERASE is interlocked with the PGM bit
such that both bits cannot be equal to 1 or set to 1 at the same time.
1 = Erase operation selected
0 = Erase operation unselected
PGM — Program Control Bit
This read/write bit configures the memory for program operation. PGM is interlocked with the ERASE
bit such that both bits cannot be equal to 1 or set to 1 at the same time.
1 = Program operation selected
0 = Program operation unselected
2.7 FLASH Page Erase Operation
Use this step-by-step procedure to erase a page (64 bytes) of FLASH memory to read as 1:
1. Set the ERASE bit and clear the MASS bit in the FLASH control register.
2. Read the FLASH block protect register.
3. Write any data to any FLASH location within the address range of the block to be erased.
4. Wait for a time, t
NVS
(minimum 10 µs).
5. Set the HVEN bit.
6. Wait for a time, t
Erase
(minimum 1 ms or 4 ms).
7. Clear the ERASE bit.
8. Wait for a time, t
NVH
(minimum 5 µs).
9. Clear the HVEN bit.
10. After time, t
RCV
(typical 1 µs), the memory can be accessed in read mode again.
NOTE
While these operations must be performed in the order shown, other
unrelated operations may occur between the steps.
In applications that require more than 1000 program/erase cycles, use the 4 ms page erase specification
to get improved long-term reliability. Any application can use this 4 ms page erase specification. However,
in applications where a FLASH location will be erased and reprogrammed less than 1000 times, and
speed is important, use the 1 ms page erase specification to get a shorter cycle time.
