XC835/836
Electrical Parameters
3.2.4
Flash Memory Parameters
The XC835/836 is delivered with all Flash sectors erased (read all zeros).
The data retention time of the XC835/836’s Flash memory (i.e. the time after which
stored data can still be retrieved) depends on the number of times the Flash memory has
been erased and programmed.
Note: Flash memory parameters are not subject to production test but verified by design
and/or characterization.

Remarks
1) One cycle refers to the programming of all wordlines in a sector and erasing of sector. The Flash endurance
data specified in Table 13 is valid only if the following conditions are fulfilled:
- the maximum number of erase cycles per Flash sector must not exceed 100,000 cycles.
- the maximum number of erase cycles per Flash bank must not exceed 300,000 cycles.
- the maximum number of program cycles per Flash bank must not exceed 2,500,000 cycles.
