#121222 - neither does Philips nor Atmel Responding to: ???'s previous message |
Single-byte erasing allows any byte(s) to be used as non-volatile data storage."
Silabs does not have this feature. Neither does Philips nor Atmel - surprise! What single byte (re)write means is that there is some micrologic that does the process for you (read to RAM, update RAM, erase page, write page). The RAM mentioned is invisible to the user. Some have been REALLY surprised when they found out that the flash endurance specified was for the page or sector, not the byte even if byte erase was stated. allows any byte(s) to be used as non-volatile data storage using flash willy-nilly as storage can give some unpleasanr surprises, RAM has infinite endurance flash does not. It does not take long to write e.g. a loop counter 100.000 times. Erik |

| you can't | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| IDE has that feature... | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Make like a CR-R? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| That's why flash is not good for data storage | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Purpose of using flash | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| 93C66 EEPROM | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| use a walking write | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Please can you write in assembly | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| nope | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| 93C66 EEPROM.....Hardware is already designed | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Two different pages available? | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
| Ask the designer | 01/01/70 00:00 | |
