C128 FLASH Limitations/Capabilities? - jmey...@emittechnologies.com - Jan 13 10:55:39 2009

What are the read/write cycle limitations of the FLASH system on a HCS12-based controller? 10,000 R/W? 100,000 R/W?

Also, if I was to reach the limitations on one block, are the other blocks in danger of loosing their integrity?

Try having a look at Application Note AN2302
EEPROM Emulation for the 9S12C32.

I would search for "NVM reliability" or "data integrity" in the data
sheet for your part. You are actually concerned about program/erase
cycles because reading does not stress the NVM. You may also be
concerned about data retention. This is actually temperature dependant
but they may not give you all of that information in the data sheet. If
you are really concerned, you might want to look for EB618 and EB619.

I don't think the stress on one block would affect another. If you
erase a single sector many times (in EEPROM applications) it does not
affect other sectors. In fact, some applications copy the data from one
sector to another to extend the useful life of the part.

It looks like 10,000 erase/read cycles per sector are guaranteed.

Thank you!
