A.4 Flash NVM
A.4.1 NVM Timing
The time base for all NVM program or erase operations is derived from the oscillator. A minimum
oscillator frequency f
NVMOSC
is required for performing program or erase operations. The NVM modules
do not have any means to monitor the frequency and will not prevent program or erase operation at
frequencies above or below the specified minimum. Attempting to program or erase the NVM modules at
a lower frequency a full program or erase transition is not assured.
The Flash program and erase operations are timed using a clock derived from the oscillator using the
FCLKDIV register. The frequency of this clock must be set within the limits specified as f
NVMOP
.
The minimum program and erase times shown in Table A-14 are calculated for maximum f
NVMOP
and
maximum f
bus
. The maximum times are calculated for minimum f
NVMOP
and a f
bus
of 2MHz.
A.4.1.1 Single Word Programming
The programming time for single word programming is dependent on the bus frequency as a well as on the
frequency f¨
NVMOP
and can be calculated according to the following formula.
A.4.1.2 Row Programming
Flash programming where up to 64 words in a row can be programmed consecutively by keeping the
command pipeline filled. The time to program a consecutive word can be calculated as:
The time to program a whole row is:
Row programming is more than 2 times faster than single word programming.
A.4.1.3 Sector Erase
Erasing a 1024 byte Flash sector takes:
The setup times can be ignored for this operation.
