3.3.3 Embedded Flash memory
The high-performance Flash memory module has the following key features:
● For XL-density devices: density of up to 1 Mbyte with dual bank architecture for read-
while-write (RWW) capability:
– bank 1: fixed size of 512 Kbytes
– bank 2: up to 512 Kbytes
● For other devices: density of up to 512 Kbytes
● Memory organization: the Flash memory is organized as a main block and an
information block:
– Main memory block of size:
up to 128 Kbytes × 64 bits divided into 512 pages of 2 Kbytes each (see Ta ble 8 )
for XL-density devices
up to 4 Kb × 64 bits divided into 32 pages of 1 Kbyte each for low-density devices
(see Table 4 )
up to 16 Kb × 64 bits divided into 128 pages of 1 Kbyte each for medium-density
devices (see Ta ble 5 )
up to 64 Kb × 64 bits divided into 256 pages of 2 Kbytes each (see Ta bl e 6 ) for
high-density devices
up to 32 Kbit × 64 bits divided into 128 pages of 2 Kbytes each (see Table 7 ) for
connectivity line devices
– Information block of size:
770 × 64 bits for XL-density devices (see Ta bl e 8 )
2360 × 64 bits for connectivity line devices (see Ta bl e 7 )
258 × 64 bits for other devices (see Tabl e 4, Ta bl e 5 and Tabl e 6 )
The Flash memory interface (FLITF) features:
● Read interface with prefetch buffer (2x64-bit words)
● Option byte Loader
● Flash Program / Erase operation
● Read / Write protection
