1. Typical data retention values are based on measured response accelerated at high temperature and derated to a constant
25°C use profile. Engineering Bulletin EB618 does not apply to this technology.
2. Data retention is based on Tjavg = 55°C (temperature profile over the lifetime of the application).
3. Cycling endurance represents number of program/erase cycles at -40°C ≤ Tj ≤ 125°C.
4. Write endurance represents the number of writes to each FlexRAM location at -40°C ≤Tj ≤ 125°C influenced by the cycling
endurance of the FlexNVM (same value as data flash) and the allocated EEPROM backup. Minimum and typical values
assume all byte-writes to FlexRAM.
6.4.1.5 Write endurance to FlexRAM for EEPROM
When the FlexNVM partition code is not set to full data flash, the EEPROM data set size
can be set to any of several non-zero values.
The bytes not assigned to data flash via the FlexNVM partition code are used by the
FTFL to obtain an effective endurance increase for the EEPROM data. The built-in
EEPROM record management system raises the number of program/erase cycles that can
be attained prior to device wear-out by cycling the EEPROM data through a larger
EEPROM NVM storage space.
While different partitions of the FlexNVM are available, the intention is that a single
choice for the FlexNVM partition code and EEPROM data set size is used throughout the
entire lifetime of a given application. The EEPROM endurance equation and graph
shown below assume that only one configuration is ever used.
Writes_FlexRAM =
EEPROM – 2 × EEESIZE
EEESIZE
× Write_efficiency × nnvmcycd
where
• Writes_FlexRAM — minimum number of writes to each FlexRAM location
• EEPROM — allocated FlexNVM based on DEPART; entered with Program
Partition command
• EEESIZE — allocated FlexRAM based on DEPART; entered with Program Partition
command
• Write_efficiency —
