Peripheral operating requirements and behaviors
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_subsystem =
EEPROM – 2 × EEESPLIT × EEESIZE
EEESPLIT × EEESIZE
× Write_efficiency × nnvmcycd
where
• Writes_subsystem — minimum number of writes to each FlexRAM location for
subsystem (each subsystem can have different endurance)
• EEPROM — allocated FlexNVM for each EEPROM subsystem based on DEPART;
entered with the Program Partition command
• EEESPLIT — FlexRAM split factor for subsystem; entered with the Program
Partition command
• EEESIZE — allocated FlexRAM based on DEPART; entered with the Program
Partition command
• Write_efficiency —
• 0.25 for 8-bit writes to FlexRAM
• 0.50 for 16-bit or 32-bit writes to FlexRAM
• nnvmcycd — data flash cycling endurance (the following graph assumes 10,000
cycles)
