A.5.6 Memory Characteristics
The Flash memory can only be read at an operating voltage of 2.2 to 5.5V. Program and erase are
achieved at an operating voltage of 2.7 to 5.5V. The program and erase parameters in
Table A-6
are for
V
DD
= 2.7 to 5.5V only.

1. f
Read
is defined as the frequency range for which the Flash memory can be read.
2. If the page erase time is longer than t
Erase
(Min), there is no erase-disturb, but it reduces the endurance of the Flash mem-
ory.
3. If the mass erase time is longer than t
MErase
(Min), there is no erase-disturb, but it reduces the endurance of the Flash
memory.
4. t
rcv
is defined as the time it needs before the Flash can be read after turning off the high voltage charge pump, by clearing
HVEN to 0.
5. t
HV
is defined as the cumulative high voltage programming time to the same row before next erase.

6. The minimum row endurance value specifies each row of the Flash memory is guaranteed to work for at least this many
erase / program cycles.
7. The minimum row endurance value specifies each row of the Flash memory is guaranteed to work for at least this many
erase / program cycles.
8. The Flash is guaranteed to retain data over the entire operating temperature range for at least the minimum time specified.
