14. 192 K/256 K/512 Kbit Flash Memory Outline
The following three methods are provided for data writing and deleting on flash memory:
1. Parallel writer
2. Serial special-purpose writer
3. Writing/deleting by program execution
 192 K/256 K/512 Kbit flash memory outline
The 192 K/256 K/512K-bit flash memory is allocated on FF
H
 bank of CPU memory map. Using the function of
flash memory interface circuit, the memory allows read access and program access from CPU. 
Writing/deleting on flash memory is performed by instruction from CPU via flash memory interface. Because
rewriting is allowed on mounted memory, modifying program and data is performed efficiently.
 Features of 192 K/256 K/512 Kbit flash memory 
 Dividing into many sectors
 Automatic program algorithm (Embedded Algorithm
TM
: Similar to MBM29LV200.)
 Built-in deletion pause/deletion resume function
 Detection of completed writing/deleting by data polling and toggle bits.
 Detection of completed writing/deleting by CPU interrupt.
 Deletion is allowed on a sector-by-sector basis (sectors are combined freely).
 Number of writing/deleting operations (minimum): 10,000 times 
 Sector protection
 Extended sector protection
 Temporary sector unprotection

Note : A function of reading manufacture code and device code is not provided. These codes are not accessible 
by command either.
 Flash memory writing/deleting
 Writing and reading data is not allowed simultaneously on the flash memory.
 Data writing and deleting on the flash memory is performed by the processes as follows: Make a copy of
program on flash memory onto RAM. Then, execute the program copied on the RAM.
