FLASH MEMORY

FLASH MEMORY OVERVIEW

Flash memory is a type of non-volatile memory that is in-

circuit programmable. The default, erased, state of a byte of

flash memory is 0xFF. When a byte of flash memory is

programmed, the required bits change from one to zero. The

flash memory must be erased to turn the zeros back to ones.

However, a byte of flash memory cannot be erased individually.

The entire segment, or page, of flash memory that contains the

byte must be erased.

The ADE7169F16 provides 16kbytes of flash

program/information memory. This memory is segmented into

32 pages of 512 bytes each. So, to reprogram one byte of flash

memory, the 511 bytes in that page must be erased. The flash

memory can be erased by page or all at once in a mass erase.

There is a command to verify that a flash write operation has

completed successfully. The ADE7169F16 flash memory

controller also offers configurable flash memory protection.

The 16 kbytes of flash memory are provided on-chip to facilitate

code execution without any external discrete ROM device

requirements. The program memory can be programmed in-

circuit, using the serial download mode provided or using

conventional third party memory programmers.

Flash/EE Memory Reliability

The Flash memory arrays on the ADE7169F16 are fully

qualified for two key Flash/EE memory characteristics:

Flash/EE memory cycling endurance and Flash/EE memory

data retention.

Endurance quantifies the ability of the Flash/EE memory to be

cycled through many program, read, and erase cycles. In real

terms, a single endurance cycle is composed of four

independent, sequential events:

Initial page erase sequence

Read/verify sequence

Byte program sequence

Second read/verify sequence

In reliability qualification, every byte in both the program and

data Flash/EE memory is cycled from 00H to FFH until a first

fail is recorded, signifying the endurance limit of the on-chip

Flash/EE memory.

As indicated in the specification table, the ADE7169F16 flash

memory endurance qualification has been carried out in

accordance with JEDEC Specification A117 over the industrial

temperature range of –40°C, +25°C and +85°C. The results

allow the specification of a minimum endurance figure over

supply and temperature of 100,000 cycles, with a minimum

endurance figure of 20,000 cycles of operation at 25°C.

Retention is the ability of the Flash memory to retain its

programmed data over time. Again, the parts have been qualified

in accordance with the formal JEDEC Retention Lifetime

Specification (A117) at a specific junction temperature (TJ =

55°C). As part of this qualification procedure, the Flash

memory is cycled to its specified endurance limit described

previously, before data retention is characterized. This means

that the Flash memory is guaranteed to retain its data for its full

specified retention lifetime every time the Flash memory is

reprogrammed. It should also be noted that retention lifetime,

based on an activation energy of 0.6 eV, derates with TJ as shown

in Figure 65.

FLASH MEMORY ORGANIZATION

The 16kbytes of flash memory provided by the ADE7169F16

are segmented into 32 pages of 512 bytes each. It is up to the

user to decide which Flash memory he would like to allocate for

data memory. It is recommended that each page be dedicated

solely to program or data memory so that an instance does not

arise where the program counter is loaded with data memory

instead of an opcode from the program memory or where

program memory is erased to update a byte of data memory.
