4 Flash program memory and data EEPROM
4.1 Introduction
The embedded Flash program memory and data EEPROM memories are controlled by a
common set of registers. Using these registers, the application can program or erase
memory contents and set write protection, or configure specific low power modes. The
application can also program the device option bytes.
4.2 Glossary
● Block
A block is a set of bytes that can be programmed or erased in one single programming
operation. Operations that are performed at block level are faster than standard
programming and erasing. Refer to Ta bl e 5 for the details on block size.
● Page
A page is a set of blocks.
A dedicated option byte can be used to configure, by increments of one page, the size
of the user boot code.
